I look at these places and realize that this was someone's home. Their life partner may have passed, they were alone, and at one time this was a well-kept, tidy space. They had an interest in the nature around them, had family, and a favorite teacup. One day the last one there just couldn't keep up anymore. God bless them.

Exactly, + W5 is a relatively new brand. Quite possibly part of the house was abandoned with the occupant only using one or two rooms.
@williamdrabble87812 жыл бұрын
I get the impression the house was starting to decay with the occupants still living in it, one of the windows in the small bedroom was patched up with plywood and silicone. You also get the occasional glimpse of newish items like the washing liquid on the floor of the bathroom.

Depending on location things can deteriorate very quickly. My brother took me to see location of our grandfather's sisters home. She had died 30 years before and you could barely see the foundation. Nature had taken over. Wood frame. Another case I know of the wife died suddenly. She did everything around the house. While the home was very much out of date, it was always spotless. If it had been sold before her death, it could have been lived in and updated slowly. It was a lovely home. Cinder block. Less that a year after her death it was up for sell. Don't know if the man died or the family put him into a nursing home. The place had to be gutted. Having dropped meals of to him several times, the smell was horrible. I could not even enter towards the end.

Oh my stars, that intro 🤣🤣🤣🤣This was quite an incongruous property. My personal thoughts are that it was lived in until fairly recently but in a state of extreme decay and lack of upkeep, then perhaps a fire from the black thick caked soot. Or an open fire that smoked heavily into the room, as well as the owner smoking. On the floor downstairs was a recent Fairy detergent bottle, other random modern bottles too. The white plastic bottle on the upstairs windowsill is a male urine bottle. Really sad place.

Very interesting. I don't think that discolouration is front cigarettes or tobacco. @8.58 You can see serious levels of soot on the fireplace which ties in with the soot on the cobwebs, lampshades etc.Possibly a fire that wasn't drawing properly and regularly puffed out smoke & soot. Upstairs, bedroom has male clothes in the wardrobe, a ladies hairbrush set on the dressing table, presumably reminders of a family life sadly now over. @11.32, book featuring the late Jack Charlton, may indicate an interest in fresh water fishing.@14.15 that duvet on the floor hasn't been there very long, 12 months max. I disagree on the lack of visitors, drawers pulled out, clothes shattered around etc. That place has had a few visitors or possibly friends/family searching for stuff.

Great find, no graffiti or vandalism to be seen. It was normal for everyone to smoke back in the day, but having a wood stove constantly in use plus oil lamps would do much of the staining of walls and ceilings too. Using a wood stove or wood fire prior to having the electric fire fitted e everything would smell of burnt wood in the house, clothes, bed linen and curtains etc. We tend to paint our homes regularly nowadays but back then you only decorated when first married and moved in the place. You can often tell by the fashion of the clothes hanging up how old they are. Thank yo for this one. 💕🇦🇺

To think that is somebodies life just laid bare and left to rot like it means nothing to anyone. There's something very sad in that. That newspaper in the bedroom cupboard....I was born in '76. Lol.
