Nice naighbours wanted

[Guest guest]

Posted this to another group but others might be interested.

 

It's great on a good day, but... winter, brrr!, all our trees lean

over at an angle. No shops, 30 minute trip to get a newspaper, 60

minutes to buy an organic mushroom, and the social life is the Womens

Institute and the bowls club. No jobs. Local town wobbles with Wayne

and Waynettas. Spiders the size of man's palm, adders, slugs like you

never imagined but we have badgers and hedgehogs in the garden and even

otters moving back in. Really backward chemical free area.

 

Next door up for sale. I've been campaigning to have it preserved but

British Waterways have decided to sell it. Anybody with a spare

£100,000+ out there for a grade 2 listed toll keepers cottage plus

field next to English Nature peat bog and SSSI on Shropshire/Cheshire/

Wales borders.

 

Organic for over 100 years and needs owner who respects historic

houses,nature and canals. Lots of land available for anybody who'll

work with English Nature and observe good husbandry, possibly 20

acres.

Lots of listed bridges and brill walks. Residents get freedom of the

bog. Ancient peat cutting rights (but not if you want to stay friends

with English Nature).

It's up for auction in September and if anybody nice wants it, I'll

screw the auction by applying for an upgrade to grade 2 star which

would have to be declared and put other people off buying!!! If

upgraded it would attract grants. Other nasty tricks up my sleeve!

 

Not very impressive pic on

Reputed to be Brindley/Telford. Beside a roving bridge over canal

(bridge for horses) Its got stone stairs and fireplaces, arched

doors,

another storey below the canal, lots of fantastic detail. Tiny rooms.

Very basic plumbing. Virtually untouched. Views up three canals.

Can't find pic of my bridge but this the next one along. You have to

open the drawbridge by pulling a chain and is the only access to my

patch. Very burglar proof but can't get insurance company to take it

into account.
