Hi all,

A short but interesting explore this was. An old house between Longstanton and Willingham (Cambridgeshire) which was once owned by a German Chap, badly damaged in a fire some time ago so only the brick shell of the building remains.

The interior is more or less completely reclaimed by nature.

The back garden was full of vehicle, farm machinery and items I presume were pulled from the house after the fire.

Thanks for looking!
 
Yeah I found it strange too, I didn't think of it being a school house. I figured it maybe an alarm bell or something

A very common addition to houses of this type, i.e. estate managers/owners of market gardens etc. The bell was rung at the start of the working day, at the start and end of meal breaks and at the end of the working day - workers hearing the bell at knock off time, downed tools and walked home from the surrounding fields/area.
