Alfred's Whiskey Cottage

This little cottage sits on the edge of a village in Norfolk. I'm presuming the owner of the cottage was called Alfred, given the Christmas card written to him. It is very apparent he liked Teacher's whiskey given the amount of empty bottles lying around. They were all over the cottage: under the bed, on bed side tables, in wardrobes and drawers - everywhere!

I've been in quite a few houses with personal belongings in them, but I thought this cottage had quite a sad aura about it. Maybe Alfred had nobody to look after him in his old age, or maybe no one cared. On the other hand, he could have just loved a drink and was perfectly happy!





































Thanks for looking, and thanks for taking me Mikeymutt!

Great report there, looks like he loved a smoke and drink, any sign of what year it was last in use?

Lovely photo's, Most old houses like this make you think about the previous owner.

Nicely Done, Thanks

Lovely set there, good work as always.
That is a few gallons of whiskey he's consumed!

Blergh, teachers! Grim!

A man who liked a strong drink, the old Teachers bottles labels went out of production many years ago. I'm a bit of a whisky fan but I don't remember that style of label. Thanks for the report.

Enjoyed looking at this, looks like its been left a long time, 20 years i'd say.
