A regular (re)visit of mine. Perhaps it's the idyllic location of this place that draws me here. Or some other sentimental attachment. It's been almost a year to the day since I last reported on this place. The last visit was the first time I'd been since the fire that ripped through the lion's share of the roof and leaving the cottage past any realistic chance of redemption.
Not much more to report. The place still remains in a forlorn state, unlikely ever to be restored. Sad really. Anyhow, you can find detailed history of the place HERE.
On with the pictures:
A view of the nearby lock on the Grantham canal:

There's more of interest in the out-buildings now to be honest:

The poor cottage itself:

The lean-to building's roof survived:

The old oven inside:

The worst affected bit of the house:

What's left of the kitchen:

The lounge is the room in best condition but is still in a poor way:

What's left of the upper floor, now minus the fireplace:

Bye-bye again old friend;
