The House Of The Morbid Pram!

So earlier this year I embarked on a trip to that place that keeps on giving eg Wales. Having been studying maps throughout last year and using resources provided, part of the group found this place, an named it "House of the morbid pram" thanks Nakedeye :lol: he had ventured there last year to see if it was "abandoned" like we do with most places and surely it was, but I held back not wanting to rush and do a big trip I waited till the start of the year, due to commitments closer to home. So by the time he had posted many others went and got the location, but I wasn't expecting to bump into anyone, sure enough we did after the mammoth walk which Cunningplan almost died on :D

Little did I know we would interrupt sureshanks youtube video by opening the gate and causing him and his mate to freeze, they had gone the short way while we knackered our legs :lol: this was before he was on here I think so I had no idea who he was, but he had seen my posts across FB so he had an idea I guess on who I was.

Moving on from interrupting his youtube video and general chit chat made, they left and we began to explore this old house, taking in what was around me instantly the green fashioned kitchen caught my eye, showing evidence of an apocalyptic world from a bygone era with little moved since its abandonment, cobwebs present from taps to the bottles, clothes hung up neatly pressed and enjoying the sun, moving into the next room you are greeted by an aga of course this would never of fitted in the kitchen itself, but I guess this room was the dining room, with bottles and aspirins and stomach bloat drinks present in the cupboard, while the kettle remained on the aga stuck in time. The room next to this housed the 1950's I think tv a normal fireplace for a house like this and a chair with old radio, yet more bottles present and a whiskey to one side, either by squatters or the owner Mr.Davies enjoyed a drink, finding nothing of a feminine nature but a handbag downstairs it seems that maybe Mr.Davies lived longer than his wife? Now I made my way upstairs seeing the crumbling side of the house one room remained stuck in the time period wardrobe and jackets hung up this now was becoming a trend, the next room heavy decay and a jacket hung up at the side, now the next room caught my attention not for the sheer amount of decay an falling wallpaper but the pram! positioned in the centre of the room myself, cunningplan and blod took our photos but I didn't just want the same shots as everyone else, so I pushed it further against the wall knowing how I wanted to photograph it, I later moved it back into the centre took one more shot and left, I then found some debts and receipts dating from the 1970's and 1960's along with some paints, strange combo I then noticed some odds an ends in the barn attached taking one shot, it was time to leave an move onto our next location a few miles from here.

I do like stepping further back in time this way and seeing how life has changed, this house remains stuck in a certain period of time, which to me is the real beauty of exploring houses/cottages.

On with the moodiness :mrgreen:

Thank you as always for looking! :) plenty more soon after another mammoth trip on the horizon​
 
You done a nice bit of photography there MB, I think the telly is early sixties, the fire guard and coal scuttle are certainly from that era, although it's a classic design it doesn't look galvanized as later ones were. Most Enjoyable, Thanks
 
Absolutely loved this! You've captured the mood of the place completely. Thanks for posting.

Thank you so much! :D its always appreciated to hear feedback such as this especially saying stuff like "the mood" and how its meant to be seen/how I photograph it, it means a lot. Glad you like it! :D

I was thinking maybe 1950s/1960s but who knows :D I wouldn't, just loved the fact it was stuck here like the rest of the odds and ends, glad you like my take on this smiler :D
