I stumbled across this place last week while at work and went back today with Birdinanaviary. I wasn't expecting it to be as full as it was-we spent ages rooting through all the stuff to find out the story. I can only find some information that the owner was bankrupt in 1976 and that now the house is going to be demolished. The site is made up of a detached house and a bungalow, both with there own surprises. It appears to be have been empty for a long, long time.
On with the pics...

Hopefully BIAA will get hers up that will no doubt show loads more of the details of this little gem.

Thanks for looking.

Well... He owned a garage for a but as there were invoices in boxes for it! The labels were in a separate bungalow bit, maybe they had a butchers as well! Thy clearly like home brew though there were demijohns everywhere

Another sad site but at least there is some back history to this place and not just un-explained like so many of these old homes. Thanks for posting and some awesome pictures from both!
