The Ruined Manse

"Do you know that the stucco is peeling?
Do you know that the heart will stop?
From those yellow Italianate arches
Do you hear the plaster drop?"
John Betjeman

Well this building may not have Italianate arches but it has a rather rugged grandeur. It seems such a shame that it's been allowed to decay. It used to be rented to a builder, then a large local family and finally to some lovely hippies. But it's been empty for years and would require someone with a substantial wallet to restore it now.
