The Old Hen House

If you go down in the woods today...nestled in a wooden valley, down Rosemary Lane, where you cross the River Frome, opposite Freshford Mill, you will come across this wonderful old hen house.

Now sadly out of use, with no sign of any chickens nearby, but in its day would have supplied the needs of the farmers' family.

Lovely shot, I love images like this where something man-made is being taken over by nature.

Fascinating photo I could look at this for ages because there is so much to see & wonder about it's history

@leggzy @tramway @ukandie1 @dayle @dishaparekh176 @777margo Thank you for your comments, it is great to know that there are others who enjoy the fascination of man vs nature...and we know who will win over time. It is always an exciting moment when you are out and about exploring, turn the corner and lo and behold a unfolding story appears before your eyes!
