I've been seriously exploring abandoned and unloved buildings since August 2013, and they come in many forms. Some are complete wrecks, trashed by vandals.
Others are beautiful time capsules, beautifully preserved with relics and artifacts that tell a story about the people that occupied the building.

This house was, until recently, one of the latter, full of the most incredible items.
Books, photographs, letters, diaries, newspapers and so much more. Now it's been stripped and is in a pretty poor state.

Visited earlier in the year with NakedEye, we happened upon a local woman who told us of the real story of this lovely old house, occupied by a father and daughter.
They had livestock on their land that perished through accidental electrocution. Consequently they never user their electricity or gas again.
The father had secrets, and forbade the daughter to enter one of the upstairs rooms.

Full of secrets, but that's about all now. The house has been stripped completely, save for some old newspapers, but was still beautiful.
A shadow of it's former self, but let's tale a look inside…

Newspapers


More newspapers


One for the family album


Ever get the feeling you're being watched?


Ghostly head


At the top


I'm on the stairs looking down…


Perfect light


Through a hole in the floor


The old regiment


Dark entries


The front door


Dark room


Wall art?

In the kitchen

The full horror


That peeling feeling

NIce photos Ian, lovely report. The lady was fasicnating wasn't she with all that local knowledge....it was sad that all the items had been removed [except that dolls head!] but still a very photogenic house to say the least. You're building up some corker reports now - on to the next :p
 
wonderful images..awww my beautiful diary keepers all empty..but now shes sold and is being done up she will become a lovely happy family home once more:)

A beautiful house, but now nothing like your original report. Amazing how big the garden is. Still got my eye on that VW van covered in ivy. Maybe I could make them an offer. :)
 
hey there!

what a beautiful photo's!
I especially like the thje processing!!
and of course one needs to look for the best possible POV's and you nailed it. You found them.
I especially like the pictures named 'front door'and 'perfect light'because of... well the perfect light.
The ones without direct sunlight are not my favorites: I feel theay are somewhat over precessed.. But I guess that's just a question of 'taste'...
