ABANDONED OLD CROW COTTAGE

AN OLD ENGLISH cottage packed full of history and valuables has been left to rot. Wrecked with tragedy both in and outside of the building, it now stands eerily abandoned since 2009. The over 200 year old rundown cottage, in Willersley, Herefordshire, was photographed by urban explorer Dan Circa. The 28-year-old decided to visit the cottage after reading about the history of the home.
