The Crooked Little House on the Corner. by ladymagpie

The Crooked Little House on the Corner.

I went out today to find a geocache and knew I had to be quick as the weather was about to change for the worse. After the capture I looked around the small village of North Woodchester for some photography options.

Right opposite the cache was this funny little house on the street corner. It looked so strange next to a 3 story old mill building and completely out of proportion with the surroundings. I cant imaging how small it must be inside, but I did see someone watching me from one of the windows so decided to vacate the area..

It just had to lead me into a song to get stuck in your head for a while. Link:

It certainly is a funny little house and I had forgotten the song until I clicked on the link - thanks

Nicely spotted and captured. Perhaps there is not much to do in this small house so looking out the window at you was the owner's entertainment for today. I will have to wait until tonight to hear the mystery song. Something to look forward to!

Sorry for such a bulk thank you, but all comments and FAV's are appreciated. I have subsequently found out it's called Pike House and was a toll house when the main road used to go by.

so lovely, it makes me think it is time they made invisible aerials. i like the contrast between the stone and the brick behind

Such an interesting structure. Must be a great story there. Love the red chimney
