Carpark
house
Visit date:
2008
Year of build:
1930's
Status:
Abandoned
The grounds of this once proud
house has been turned into a makeshift carpark, and
the house itself, a dumping ground for rubbish.
Before the war this house was one of three houses
belonging to a large extended family, the head of
the family had no less than six wives! Today only
one other house survives and it has been turned into
a shop, the other house was demolished to make way
for a petrol station.
As can be seen from the pictures, the house has since
seen considerable damage from the elements, as well
as the usual material theft and vandalism. The upstairs
was unfortunately inaccessible with the main staircase
in an unsafe state.
The main carriage porch has seen modern modifications
having been blocked up at opposite sides and converted
into an entrance hall. Within this entrance hall also
sports a tacky tiled water feature.
