Dunkirk Farm is boarded up and sports a "Keep Out" sign.
See how it looked in 2009 on Hyde DP Volume 1. It was boarded up then too but earlier in 2007 it was being lived in and sported a TV satellite dish and a very distinctive chimney-pot.
Part of the land at Dunkirk Farm is let out for stabling and the keeping of poultry but most of the other buildings are derelict and there are plans to demolish the farm and its outbuildings and build four detached houses on the site.

I always find it sad when homes are just left. Let's hope new buildings will fit in with the surroundings which look semi rural.
ReplyDeleteOne hopes the new houses won't stick out like a sore thumb.
ReplyDeleteHouses need people, or they deteriorate.

ReplyDeleteA lovely shot but it will be sad to see it go to be replaced by new housing.
ReplyDeleteI bet it was once busy and bustling with the sounds and smells of a farm! Nice old building...hopefully someone will do something positive with it in the future.
ReplyDeletegreat tree.
ReplyDeleteWhat a charming old place. I'd love to wander about and see what I could find.
ReplyDeleteLooks better than Apethorn Farm!
ReplyDeleteworked there when Syd Oldham had it back in the 50s
ReplyDeleteI hope they keep that fence, if they do demolish the old buildings! It is a treasure!
ReplyDeleteSad to see it in this condition, but it sure makes for a beautiful post. I'm so sorry for not getting around sooner. It's been a sad week with a death in our family. Not much time for blogging.
