Something I have always found fascinating is how people can just leave a property literally to rot. How does it go from home to uncared for shell of a former life?
What is the story of this place on Bacton Hill Road?

It’s true that we don’t see this sort of thing very often around here. After traveling around Ireland for a bit some years ago, I wondered why we don’t see *more* of this in the US. There were so many old-to-ancient ruins on roadsides there, and I thought many of them looked quite beautiful as nature reclaimed them. I think we don’t see more of it here because the land is so valuable, and people want to put something useful in place of the decomposing buildings. In some cases, I think the decomposing building would have looked better than what was built in its place.
