Demolition?

i love walking aimlessly

after school on friday, i decided to pop into town to get myself an outfit for the event occurring later on that evening. on my, rather obscenely hurried, walk home i decided to take a shortcut down a path which i haven't walked for years. along this path, there was a gorgeous little cottage, which had been swamped by industry and estates popping up all around it. not far to the right was a noisy train line, a few minutes walk to the left was a huge housing estate, and metres behind was a large industrial unit. for as long as i can remember the front of this cottage overlooked an unruly uncared for field, and the house remained empty. this particular afternoon, i stormed past at a speed rivaling light, when i suddenly noticed something. i removed my headphones and stood in shock at what i saw.
the beautiful little cottage obviously brought no value to anyone anymore. what used to be a wonderful gem, had been what i consider brutally attacked. the windows smashed, roof caved in, it had been torn to pieces. this really saddened me. what's more is that someone tried to protect this worsening by putting up a large fence. (i managed to slip my hand through the bars to snap this photo) however, it merely adds to the ugliness of the scene. and to see something i once adored gazing at on my little trips into town completely robbed of its former beauty is somewhat worse than tearing it down altogether.
