Music maker's cottage, April 2014

I have been trawling the internet for weeks now, compiling a list of new locations. I had no idea if this cottage would be accessible or if there would be anything inside worth photographing.
What a surprise it was..

we slid through a door that would only just open into a fallen down part of the cottage. A bath and a book shelf full of books still stood on the otherwise completely collapsed upper floors.
Looking up to an opened bedroom door hanging over the collapsed floors, we could see a chest of drawers and so not giving it a second thought, we were climbing and clambering up the collapsed rooms and into John Geoff's bedroom.
Inside were lots of letters and post cards, some of a very personal nature. I had become confused at john also being addressed as Geoff and on finding a very old car insurance certificate and some P60's, it finally became clear that his name was John, but he was called Geoff to friends and family.
John lived with his mother and he worked at home in his workshop fixing broken guitars..

Hope you enjoy and sorry there are lots of pics









The way into the cottage..

Hahaha Yes it made me smile too! was a bit shocked a first

Your pictures are well chosen again, close ups showing personal effects and also shots that show the whole room, giving us a good idea of the layout of the house. Thank you.

Oh my!
I've always wondered when I'd come across something like that!
Looks another great place, you're churning them out at the moment.

Brilliant! Funny photo indeed... And what an epic find

Lovely stuff as I said ur shots are getting tonnes better

Great stuff again. I really like the stained glass windows & the radio-grams. "Un-shatterable Penile Enlarger"???????

Thanks for the laugh you brought tears to my eyes.

brilliant and funny mixed in with some great photos

What? You found another one? You must have the interweb well trained as it's not finding anywhere new for me. You should really have named it "penis enlarger's cottage" though, as that's what it will be famous for.

Beautiful!! I would have been tempted to call it "Little Dick's", but I always was twisted. Stunning photography. Thanks. Jim.

Superb find and awesome shots..these kond of places are just the best. Well done

Another excellent report, good work
Love the 'chemistry set' too

fantastic stuff, we all dream of stumbling across places like this!
Beautiful photos as usual!
