I think that Wolf Cleugh Farm, near Rookhope in Weardale, Co Durham, was abandoned in the 1960's (the fireplace looks late 1940's/early 1950's).
Even in its now in a very ruinous state, there is a haunting connection to those who once lived within these walls.
The former farmstead is also tied in with the area's lead mining past.
In the late 19th century and early 20th century, the property was occupied by the Roddam families, with George Roddam living here with his wife Annie, working as a shepherd and his sons working in the nearby lead mines.
The Roddam's would later move further down the valley to Daddry Shield and I have not as yet been able to find out who last occupied the property.
It certainly looks like quite a while since the last time a fire was lit and someone was cosily tucked up in bed in this room!

This abandoned farmstead, stands in splendid isolation on the high windswept moors west of Edmundbyers in Co Durham, North East England.
Far enough off the beaten track to have otherwise succumbed to vandalism, it is only the often harsh weather conditions taking their toll on the fabric of the building.
Must admit to a fondness for visiting such places, always wanting to know who lived within the walls and the logistics of the lives they led.
In 1911, one William Palmer, aged 29, was living here with his wife Isabella, also 29 years old and their young family of Isabella, six, Mabel, four, James, two and John, 7 months.
It intrigues me to think about the logistics of living in such an isolated location, especially in the often harsh conditions of winter.
