I ended up here a couple of weeks ago. I knew about this place but had never actually managed to get here. I didn't know the actual history but from the look of it I would say it was deliberately demolished rather than deserted and let to become derelict. There is very little slate left on any of the roofs and there is a lot of building rubble and stone left lying in the small cove. I suspect it became unprofitable and this is the result. How sad.
looks a cool place to explore

WOW
ReplyDeletewhoa
ReplyDeletesomething......
ReplyDeletefascinating place, the energies are really interesting. gorgeous photos, thank you.
ReplyDeleteNevertheless, a great photo op. :-)
ReplyDeleteEchoes of times past.
ReplyDeleteI like the perspective through the window frame.
ReplyDeleteI like how the building stands out against the blue sky.
ReplyDeleteSuch a shame they have ended up like this.
ReplyDeleteNow that's not something i'd expect to see in an old fishing village.
ReplyDeleteGreat perspective again.
ReplyDeleteAll that remains are the bones of a fishing community.
ReplyDeletemorning Mitch...............apparently a memorial to the person who originally build it all. Inside there are memorials to some of his more recent family and a note as to where they are burried, one is in Nottingham I think.
ReplyDeleteSome of the structures still seem fairly intact.
ReplyDeleteIf these walls could talk...........
ReplyDeleteLooks like there was an ornate fireplace there at one time.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful view.
ReplyDeleteI'd really like to visit your part of the world one of these days.
ReplyDeleteIt's very sad, all along this coast are the remains of tiny fishing communities. This was salmon fishing country, some still goes on but many derelict places, possibly this one too, are all that's left of the old salmon stations.
ReplyDeleteLovely.
ReplyDeleteTry converting this one to B&W, would be interested to see how it comes out.
ReplyDeleteGood one!!
ReplyDeleteGotta smile at how nature soon reclaims.
ReplyDeleteIf this was cropped in a little, it would make a great semi-abstract.
ReplyDeletelol.............especially as they would be sharing the field with the farmers dairy herd :-)
ReplyDeleteDon't know if you saw this one I posted, Boddin is known mostly for the old lime kilns but it also has a derelict salmon station.
