Grange farm, March 2024

[Stealthstar79]

Thought I would have a look on geograph for any local , derelict places added lately,. Something I do quite often when searching for locations, but usualy see the same old places. This time I Was in luck! Grange farm and outbuildings had been added in the last few weeks. I am sure I have seen this farm house reported before. But not in the state it is now, no roof, and the upstairs completely inaccessible due to a large fire.
I have tried to find some history, but can't find anything. It looks really out of place now, in a very built up area, full of housing, restaurants, shops and hotels. Also off a extremely busy road in Leicester, not far from the city centre.
If I have the right house from the report I have seen, it did have furniture, sofa's, and some lovely old photographs.
Such a shame to see it now..
The farmhouse and its land is currently for sale with consent to be demolished and housing built in its place.
From looking around I think it was once a dairy farm, producing milk and cheese. There were lots of green, round tokens on the floor saying- milk and cheese.
Hope you enjoy ...

It really is sad to see! It's so disheartening to arrive and see the damage that's been done. I had no idea it had been severely fire damaged before going.

What a stupid comment!
That's a no brainer!
But from a exploring visual point of view? I get excited about a half eaten curtain, covered in cob webs !

I take it you've never said- " oh my God, I can't believe it, there's still some curtains hanging up!?"

Yep I regularly say things like that, though I probably don't know what catalog page they are from.

No, me neither, not hitting my 90s for a good few years yet!

Yes! In just about every way we humans think. It is called Nature. Or so I think.
