Bourne Mill Fire

Bourne Mill has been burnt down, I heard about it this morning.  This was a 17th Century rambling house full of what my husband would call 'rubbish'  but I used to think the place was like heaven.  All rickety stairs, old plates, perfume bottles, knick knacks, things from the past.  It reminded me me of a shop in Brighton called Snoopers' Paradise. I wonder if that place is still there.

We have a few things bought from Bourne Mill:  a chair which we fondly call 'the throne' in my parents' living room which is a couple of hundred years old, and I've a plate and a mirror bought there when I first moved into my house. 
It's such a shame it's destroyed; I doubt there would be much left of it now.  

Maybe the legendary ghost will still linger nearby, who knows?

It made the news anyway
