No reason not to give your take on the place still!Colins Barn as I remember. Glad it is still standing. I visited it about ten years ago and managed to take 50 or so photos. At that time there were no visible 'Keep Out' signs. I still have the images somewhere, but believe this has been covered previously on DP in detail.
My take on it: Astounding! I had to do a bit of Google Earth detective work to find it - even then it wasn't visible, but I took a chance and did the 40 minute drive. When the building came into view, I could hardly believe my eyes. It is a truly remarkable place full of intricate spaces, including a small upstairs room as I remember. The whole place appears to be made from dry stone wall construction, but I noticed that cement work had been carried out inside where some serious looking subsidence had occurred. I'll have to dig the photos out, but there were a couple of stained glass windows and timber supports inside. Scale-wise, it is less than half size I'd say - maybe 1/3? A great visit to a truly unique example of inspired spontaneous architecture. Marvellous! Anyone thinking of visiting now should seek permission of course.No reason not to give your take on the place still!
