Ooh, it's the Ugly House - what a blast from the past! Always used to pass that en-route to hols in Wales and once visited it.

That reminds me, has anyone ever seen that house on the Denbigh moors (in the distance)? We used to always drive past it. When we went again some years later, it looked like it was decaying...
