I found myself with a day free for exploring on my own, so had a mooch around the vale of Belvoir. I liked the ambience of this place, and spent an hour and a half getting my photos right, and looking round the outbuildings, the lock & the old house. I then went on to Scalford brick works, but didn’t have time to revisit the tunnel or Harby dairy.
Looking at Mockingbird’s excellent recent report, things are not as good. The kitchen sink has been smashed off the wall for a start
The late 18th Century two-bedroom cottage is set back from a section of the canal near Stenwith and was built to home the lock keeper for the neaby lock.. It hit the news in 2007 when it failed to sell at auction at a guide price of £250,000 due to the lack of running water, electricity, bath-room and road access.
Prior to coming on the market it was the home of a man in his 80's who used an earth closet in the back garden for WC, a tin tub as a bath and a wind-up gramophone to listen to music. It is now Grade II listed.
Explore on my own.

THE CELLAR:
It was pretty dark in here; 30 seconds @ F5.6
And Finally; The lock:
thanks for looking
