Bet its a great view when your doing your dishes in that sink. Good explore
 
He forgot to take the cooker !
I love the sink hanging on the pipes. Nature at its best eating the building away.
 
Nice find :)
In the last-but-one photo..... is that an old bakerlite lightswitch by the doorway?

switch

Yes Pip,you are right it is a bakelite switch,I didn't notice it till you metioned it,i'm surprised my brother ricasso didn't notice it,he,s got a thing about light switches.Sorry bro your secret is out!
 
I remember, as a young 'un, changing my old lightswitch when I re-decorated my bedroom....... it looked just like the one in your photo. I promptly took said lightswitch out the back and used it for target practice :mad: I should've had me knuckles rapped for that!!

switches

Its a shame all these old switches have dissapeared,I sometimes come across them when renovating old houses,the sparks usually throw them in the skip, i'm never far behind them,they usually have a thick coat of paint on them,and some of them turn out to be brass,they clean up a treat,I think I have a bit of magpie in me,cant resist collecting them.
