I used to like the corrugated iron houses near Bewdley, but most of these have now been converted to rather less interesting 'pine lodge' structures.

When I visited with my parents, house-hunting, I was so charmed by the one we saw I became bitterly disappointed when told it had no legal status - and I suppose, I have secretly wanted to live in a house like that ever since!. In more recent years, I was similarly moved by a corrugated iron house at Fishguard, Pembrokeshire. I nearly always seek such places out if I can. And - oh yes- there used to be "secret village" of such houses<br />within walking distance of the centre of Solihull - somebody knocked them all down and built rather uninteresting "proper" houses in their place, respecting none of the mature trees in the squatters' gardens.Joseph Biddulph (Publisher)https://www.blogger.com/profile/08655472675410890012noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4228081722487474323.post-75902726390075642052014-01-28T11:29:13.503+00:002014-01-28T11:29:13.503+00:00I think it's 3 or 4 miles as the crow flies fr...I think it's 3 or 4 miles as the crow flies from the line that links Ledbury and Malvern.<br />Philip Wilkinsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04893714514416441572noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4228081722487474323.post-41279776236903236532014-01-28T11:21:38.299+00:002014-01-28T11:21:38.299+00:00Is there a dismantled railway line near?
