Aldridge's Mill House, Brecklands, Norfolk (2)

Hi again,

On Tuesday I went up to a village which had a potential on my bike and I came across this place, I took a look through the driveway and approved, I got the feeling it was still being lived in so I decided to head back and do research.

Now i'm back, I just went there only a few hours ago in the crack of dawn, The original house owner died last Christmas 2013 and since then he's house is derelict.

His house is vertically untouched, I was lucky to even find entry point. Do be aware that this place reeks of tobacco and also has a failing smoke alarm above. In general, the atmosphere isn't pleasant!

His outdoor sheds are certainly better than the house.

Enjoy:

The door was originally shut, the opening smell was diabolical!

Same room as above.

I got a shock after hearing a beep up the stairs but it was only the smoke alarm.

The house now needs more than one Hoover.

Not a bad looking place that..I do love all the info you give out.

This place is amazing packed full of stuff! really good pics!

Nice One that,lots of stuff left to photograph and you got a fine selection to post, I loved it, Thanks

This is nicely recorded. What a stuff there is remaining. You say in your report that there was a strong smell of tobacco. Would that be cigarette or pipe? Because I spotted a possible tobacco jar under the piano and also in pic 014 and a tobacco tin on the arm of the armchair in pic 018. I noticed in pic 005 a pair of crutches, looks like his health was failing. It looks like he did a lot of work in his workshops at one time seeing what's contained in it. In pic 016 did you have a look in the trunk and suitcase?

It was a pipe smell, I had that all in the description but it got removed by the Admin. I don't think I'll say much else. I didn't look in the suitcase or the wardrobe. I couldn't be in that room for long because the smell was really strong.

Very very nice, I like this a lot

Thanks for that information. He was a pipe smoker so that's why he lasted that long. My grand dad was a pipe smoker and he died at 95 - I am a pipe smoker as well. Thanks for the link to the express.

Amazing collection of strange items captured so well,Thanks for sharing.
