I must admit that the thing I wonder mainly is "why has someone let this place decay"?<BR/><BR/>Sometimes it's because a new road has encroached too close for comfort. More likely that the house is too far from mains electricity and water services that most of us would now consider essential. But the waste is a great shame.<BR/><BR/>In the UK we have a register of "significant" properties at risk. There are some people who would be willing to restore a property but the owner won't sell. I think they should be forced either to sell or restore it themselves!<BR/><BR/>Lovely photographs!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00861397533660827678noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-625563277617720888.post-4586321917065644252009-03-17T11:06:00.000-05:002009-03-17T11:06:00.000-05:00What beautiful pictures....and the story you tell ...What beautiful pictures....and the story you tell is priceless.
