I first visited Jacksons Farm back in April. It’s somewhere I’ve driven past regularly for many years, and I’d been watching it slowly fall to pieces before ultimately being abandoned. On my last visit the large farm house, that I’ve always admired, was well boarded. However, as I knew would probably happen in the end, somebody has now pulled the boards off and started ripping the place to pieces in search of copper and the like. Reckon it didn’t take them long to discover that actually there wasn’t much of value.
So up at 5:15AM, a brisk walk a mile down the road and a small battle with some brambles, and I was able to spend an hour mooching. I’d been hoping that the farm house would still have evidence of its previous occupants, but actually it was totally stripped of everything apart from the curtains and some carpets. Hence after all the waiting, ultimately it was a rather soulless shit tip! Light was pretty crap too at that time of day, but at least I can consider it now completely “done”!
All the pictures from both visits are here.
