Entropy & Houses Frozen In Time

[area51drone]

I'm fascinated by pictures of every day things that have just sat there sitting for years and years, with entropy taking it's slow toll.     Here's some cool pictures of a house in Wales.  Check out the cool war map and old radios!

i wonder what the story was behind the house's abandonment.  there are a million abandoned houses, but i think rarely would you find all of the previous occupant's possessions remaining.

Apparently it's pretty common.   Some people search this stuff out as a hobby.  Here's another but the stuff isn't in as good of shape.  Looks like maybe someone rummaged around this place.

This is amazing that the house hasn't been restored.  Looks like it was worth a lot of money at one point.      In the past I've found pictures of really really nice places in eastern europe that were abandoned.   Here's an interesting set of photos too:

Fascinating, but heart-breakingly sad.

I love those pictures. Abandoned buildings and houses are always fascinating. As a kid there was a partial neighborhood abandoned due to highway construction. It was very creepy to have a street of houses all abandoned. Eventually a developer bulldozed them and built an office bldg but for a couple decades they just sat there.

It really makes you wonder how a house can just sit with all the stuff in it for decades without anyone disturbing it.   And it makes you wonder how they just left and all the stuff was still there, especially when it looks like they had family members.    Maybe the first one had something to do with the war.

Houses around Chernobyl or a de-militarized or war zone is obvious why stuff could be left behind but some of those others- especially nice country estates being left abandoned and often with stuff still in them. I know some countries are pretty stretched financially and up-kept of a large property in the country could be expensive. Even maybe tax issues and the owners flee rather than maintain them. Those farm houses I guess could be old people that die without heirs and as more farmland is corporately farmed and people are moving to cities?

These are creepy as hell. I have had these bookmarked for several years.
