There is a whiff of the set-up about it.
Interesting that depending on which of the many reports you read the place ws last occupied I 1914, 1936, 1940, or the 1950s, but then there's that series one with reflective number plates, which cannot be older than 1972. |

Very moving.
And a bit sad,....I wonder who lived there & what stories those walls could tell. I wonder who the next occupants will be. Pickles. Last edited by Pickles on 11th Feb 2015 8:06pm. Edited 1 time in total |

You're right, it is a S2. I should have looked more closely!
Still must have been in use after '72 to get that plte though. |

Considering the house is supposedly abandoned, the roof seems to be in good order as is the glass being still intact in all the windows. It's amusing that some of the watches and the odd tin are rusted but there's newspapers, allright look old but intact and readable. Not a great deal of dust on the surfaces, there's more dust in my house and that only gets left for a couple of months between cleanings.

Glad I'm not the only one.
I would say this has been set up? Or at least touched up a bit to make it more of a story? In one picture I have seen, a jacket hanging on a door looks almost new (too new) The harder you look the more you notice  80" 80" 86" 88" 90"

 chances of it remaining intact, now it's been "advertised" are probably quite slim.
Unless it really is that inaccessible?? 80" 80" 86" 88" 90" Wanted, Forward Control Anything considered. |

Exactly what I thought. But I like a good 'conspiracy theory'!! |
