While out for a Sunday morning walk today I noticed this rundown, boarded-up house just around the corner from where I live. Never seen it before, but it really does stick out like a sore thumb in its dilapidated state.
Seeing a house like this makes me sad. It was built however many years ago to be a home to someone, and has probably been a home to countless people over the years. But look at it now. Lost, forgotten and empty.
It's a shame that it has come to this. The story behind how this came about is probably a real tragedy: someone must own it, but why it's in this condition, I do not know. How it can be left like this is even more of a mystery to me.
At a time when housing is at a premium, places like this should not exist. This would make somebody a good home, but its dereliction is going unnoticed and unheeded. It's a damn shame.
