Update on the ruined cottage at Barley

[kiwihalfpint]

 Many of them have been snapped up for conversion but this one is quite isolated and in a horrible state of disrepair.

We have been watching the Renovation Shows where they renovate the old buildings and barns, lots of back breaking work and dedication over the months and loads of money spent on doing it, but what an amazing finish at the end. 

Thanks BB for that.

Cheers

I was thinking more of this lot.Maggie.

I used to frequent the Accy folk club in the 60's.  Wednesday nights.

I'm croaky, sniffly and achey  too.  won't catch me singing in public

Goodness me - a blast from the past.  I know Jean D*****s quite well and l remember Roger.  I'd forgotten all about The Pendle Folk.

This is their version but the other had the photos.

Is Jean still singing Maggie?

Hope the pics of Pendle, together with the song hope to bring the spirit of the area a little closer to everyone.

So Maggie.  That abandoned ruined farmhouse??  What would one expect to have to fork out for the privilege of ownership these days?

I always loved "Old Pendle" and still sing it (to myself) - thanks for posting the link Sue.  

Gosh, the Pendle Folk Club, I had forgotten about it  too!!!  I think I have Roger singing Old Pendle somewhere

I'll send a PM - Sue.

No idea Karen  

I assume there is no land with it ..... but there might be.  There are only the 4 walls left and a load of rubble and rubbish inside.  Probably not that much but it would cost a fortune to make it habitable, then there is the mile long drive to construct, and all the 'stone fencing'.  It's been on the market for years.

Dear me Maggie...where is your sense of adventure? 

After one purchased such a property, one would have no money left for a vehicle hence no need for a drive.
