This Old House

Its weird to think that these ruins on top of Leckhampton Hill were once home to someone. It must have been deserted many many years ago but the main features of the cottage are still there to see - the fire place and chimney breast, the space where doors once stood and the remnants of dividing walls. The stone floors are now just rubble covered with a carpet of weeds and there are twisted trees growing out of what is left of the roof. It was a sad sight.

It's sad yet it's beautiful.

I bet the local kids have fun playing around there. Or am I showing my age are they all indoors?

Lovely photo though.

It must have been a nice home for someone at one point. That stone fireplace is beautiful. It makes you wonder about the story behind it.

It is sad, but interesting too to try to figure out where everything is.

At least there's no grafitti all over the walls. Looks pretty well looked after.

Marley- I like your version of "Thursday This Old House". Just think . . . this will be an archaeological dig soon.
