Coalville

A very creepy abandoned house in Heather, Leicestershire. Thinking it's Victorian? I heard about it from my son - so of course I had to take a look. I was not expecting this. The house can not be seen from the roadside. There is a long, tree-lined overgrown track leading up to it. The garden is huge with mature trees. Sadly, its now neglected & I'd love to know why...

Site of Heather & Ibstock station. View westward, towards Heather on the B591 from Ibstock: the station had been in the dip ahead. It was on the ex-LNWR & Midland Joint (Ashby & Nuneaton) line from Nuneaton via Shackerstone (to left) to Coalville and Loughborough (right), the Charnwood Forest line. The station closed 13/4/31, but the line remained for goods until 7/10/63.

Sence valley, Ibstock. #takeahike
A beautiful summer's day. Then this cloud passed over. Sence valley plays to every mood each time I visit. I love where I live.

Check in was very good, the room was brilliant in a great location. The only downside was the breakfast, plates were cold, the cooked food was cold and the bread for toast was very stale.
