Carpark
house | 1920-1930's
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. From the looks of it I would put my money on
it, that this house was once used as a night club in recent
years.
