Goblin Manor 1860

Who lives in a house like this ?

I am always happy to come across something a bit unusual, Goblin Manor is just such a thing. I saw this last week while out with a friend, I made him stop the car while I took these. He laughed when I got back in the car as he'd been driving that road many years and not noticed. Sometimes just looking is not seeing if you know what I mean.

So do goblins live there? Just joking, but I wonder who and how it got that name?

Original house.
Keep your eyes open.

I think I know where that is - is it Tinsle?

I hope the goblins didn't see you taking the pictures, I heard that they hate having cameras pointed at them, they say it steals their souls. So make sure they don't put an evil spell on you, Pete!

I don't think I'd want to live there. All I keep thinking about is cars on both sides, no where for the children to play, and the drunks that may plow into the house. Nothing like building a street around it.

well spotted, stunning place! Bet it could tell some interesting stories!

That is fantastic! I love it!!!! Yes, photography does make us really notice so much more. Wonderful!

Wonder how many things occupy that place? Up front, it looks like a sign, so there is probably a business on that end.

And there is another entrance, half way down to the 'back' door.

Oh I'd love to know more about this place!!!
