My word that one is in good condition. The two I've looked in were part flooded and long stripped of any equipment. I bet the current owner spent a lot of time locating original items to restore this?

There was one that was used for holiday lets. Complete with rations. I wonder is this the same one?

my orders are to sit here and watch the world go by

I would say its this one judging from the wall line and tree in the background.

Theres actually a second listed, but it looks like a complete scam to me, probably trying to rip someone off due to the press generated by the other.

In one of the Q & As vendor mentions he has several for sale! I wonder if he lives in Nigeria?

It begining to start to look iffy I must say, the plot size of the second one is listed as 1500 sq mts, ususally you would expect about 50' x 50' plot at the most , which is about 250sq mts.

The management thanks you for your co operation.

You would have thought that he'd at least make up his own description instead of copying the other one word for word... :lol:

This sale made it to the BBC web site: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/derbyshire/8554921.stm

Doesn't say if the winning bidder has paid up though...
