Pulling into the side of the road, I was skeptical. With a collapsed roof…and walls this former potters cottage was almost certainly a burnt-out shell of a building, more rubble than substance. …or so I was convinced.

Walking around the back and in through what remained of an enterance, I stepped over piles of rubbish and gazed upon more rubbish which in turn was concealing a further mountain of trash. So, not only a shell but also a rubbish tip…not exactly inspiring.

As my eyes adjusted to the contents of the place I began to realise what I thought was junk was, in fact, very specific junk. Sure, it was not too neatly arranged and had suffered from the elements, but this was the debris of someone’s business, someones life. Not junk but letters, newspapers, family photos, bills, leaflets advertising the cottage’s former life. Machinery, kilms, pottery…lots of pottery…everywhere. This was not only a worthwile explore with some goot photo ops, this was probably the densest collection of abandoned artifacts I had ever come across.

...and even a piano - though it could certainly benefit from a tuning.

If only I had the time to go and see all these places... this one looks great
 
You've got a great eye for a picture mate. I love the one inside the kiln. We visited this place a couple of years back and I have to say it looks tidier on your shots than it did then. It's also holding (forgive the pun) up well considering it hasn't got much in the way of a roof!

Most of the roof is now on that barn conversion up on the main road!

The owner had a king sized hissy fit in the local press and started shouting about violation of his belongings when he found out the place was being visited regularly, a bit odd considering that he even left stuff like his graduation photo there to rot.
 
Caught the place spot on I think! I have wanted to head back here for a while now, pics have motivated me to do it I think!

Cheers for posting them up dude! :)
