Coming unhinged

 


When I trundled along the A272 last month winkling out some of its treasures I ended my journey at the now derelict, but preserved Hammond's Mill https://gnatbottomedtowers.blogspot.com/2021/04/on-a272.html

As ever I took more photos that day and these four huge strap hinges on the Mill Barn next door [now converted into a home] really stood out. Knowing that Ice Badger loves bits of old metal work, industrial archaeology and any rust/peeling paint I thought that this might be right up her street. Too right...she was very impressed [told you we live in a parallel universe]. She takes some amazing photos and you can see more of her images here https://catchpolecreative.com/

I'll put up a few piccies of what we turned up when I've had a chance to go through them all.
