A
small mechanics workshop now operates out of this former home,
with a small office and spare parts stock rooms on the ground
floor. Upstairs the house has been left vacant but it has
still held on to its past with some old family belongings
and furniture scattered about.
The workshop boss had been kind enough to allow me to have
a quick look around up here and take some pictures; but made
sure I didn’t intrude too much and I wasn’t allowed
into any of the main bedrooms, but I could look in. These
rooms held tantalising clues of the family before, with old
photos of young adults hanging on the walls as well as old
decayed photo albums left stacked on a desk in one room. All
the time I was up here I was watched intently by a very stern
portrait of the matriarch of the family that hung in the central
hallway.
When I had finished my brief tour I thanked and bid the workshop
boss goodbye, he looked a lot familiar now, like an older
version of one of the young men I saw in a photograph on a
wall upstairs.. |
