Els's report from here a few days back clicked something in my memory that I knew where it was, so a trip was hastily organised which turned into a bit of a busy one with 5 of us heading down there, me, 2 non-members, Northern Ninja and Landie Man.
History is sparse, it was a farm built in 1877, abandoned and put on sale after a fire in an upstairs room. The family appeared to have left everything behind, a more sinister possibility is that the poor unfortunates perished in the fire but that's pure guesswork. There have since been a couple more fires upstairs.
At some point between Northern Ninja's first visit and Els's, someone dumped an entire dismantled shed in the front room which is annoying to say the least as it is one of the best areas. I could have spent much longer inside rooting through the stuff but unfortunately we were running late and had other more important places to be so it was a little bit rushed in the end.
Found amidst the grime, a reminder of happier times
