The Mail frequently features picture based articles from the 'Urban
Explorer' community. These are people who break into abandoned buildings,
usually factories, military sites etc. I am a member of an organisation
interested in military sites and often previous visits by these people can
make it difficult to get official access. I am not sure whether these
pictures come from that source but they do seem to have contacts with photo
agencies who supply the Mail with sets of photographs.

Subject: Re: [POWYS] The 'Cloud House'
Dear Listers,
John Hopkins and Clive Gardener are quite correct: I was mistaken in
identifying the "Cloud House" as Tumbledown Cottage (aka the Old Crow).
The fact that the Daily Mail has published a separate article on each of the
two cottages misled me into assuming the article referred to by Martin
Briscoe was the one published by the Daily Mail last March about the Old
Crow in Willersley. I found the Mail's article on the Old Crow rather
distasteful in the way it breached the privacy of the cottage's recent
occupants. Moreover, the means by which the
+++
Mail photographer obtained his interior pictures was highly questionable.
I apologise to everyone for my identification error, and thank John and
Clive for rectifying it.
Kind regards,
John
