Our village. The Pigsties. Twenty paces up from the Ghost Door and nobody knows when they last housed pigs. Photo 2 is linked to them – I think.

​

The pigsties have been like that for at least 25 years, but the little converted toilet block has undergone several changes. I remember there being three doors in 2000, though boarded-up.

The hill that the village is built on rises steeply above the sties. The toilet-block looks directly down on them.

The village got main drainage, or sewers, in 1975. Up until then covered cesspits served for the big houses, while buckets and 'night-soil' collectors did for the ordinary folk. The toilet-block came soon after the sewers.

Do you see where this is going?

[But it is only a theory albeit supported by historical, and some contemporary, documentation regarding the use of human waste].

Our Village. Solitary house. It stands not far behind the Ghost Door and the well and its trough. The roof has fallen in and the windows have fallen out – it is a Door that Won't Close Anymore.
