1. Squatters Warehouse

I'm not 100% sure what this building is, Probably some sort of a warehouse. It looks like someone had been living there for awhile, there was a bed, couch and a T.V. Lots of neat things to see.

2. South of Shakespeare

Great looking farmhouse south of Shakespeare. Rather conspicuous in its location and proximity to neighbouring farms and the road. Similar to many rural abandonments I've seen where the house is no longer used, but the land provides access to the fields behind it. Google street view of a few years back shows two barns in severe dilapidation which are now gone and a somewhat maintained lawn.

1878 atlas shows this block of land owned by a J.W. Wilker and probable reference to the actual structure.

3. S.S. near Gads Hill

It looked like just a barn but it screamed for a camera anyway, so up the very long driveway I went. As i got closer it really looked like a church. After taking a few pictures I saw a full size Chevy truck blow past my truck and spotter and flew down the driveway at mach 2 towards , ah ya, me. Just great ,it was at this point, I was wondering how my tripod would work as a Bat'leth as my only defence and had no where to run. Well luckily, he was cool [but has had probs. in the past] and filled me in on the place. It is an old school but was never in service here.[most schools are very close to the road]. This school was moved by his grandfather and father after it was decommissioned[a very long time ago] from Gads Hill area, as is the direction the farmer pointed. The school was originally located on their property, as well, near Gads Hill but they wanted it here.This farmer[owner] lives across the road and a good idea to check in with him first, rather then meet him the way i did. The large red square behind is probably for aircraft as the Stratford airport is south east of here. This wooden school is very rare and thus FM. A recent Google Earth and street view show it is farmed over.
