BLAEN MARCHANT, Ceredigion 2010
Notes on BLAEN MARCHANT, Ceredigion 2010
Familiarity has diminished the uneasy air this small valley has often bestowed upon me. Blaen Marchant is easily accessible, the rear window has been broken. The front door held on by string, inside a cooker, tables, chairs, benches, stools and a few kitchenwares.
Asbestos, cement floor, iron coming apart at the base where it meets the cement floor all leads one to think Blaen Marchant may soon be letting the rains flood in and begin its disruptive progression. The thin walls must have let any heat within out. Who lived here? Who lived here? Previous visits I found a cot, boxes of childrens clothes and toys, all left, on the floor, in various poses. All unnerving.

By Helen James: Hi there, is this Blaen ruin situated in Upper Blaen, Olchon Valley? Thanks :) By Jolly Pumpkin: no, this is not the house called Upper Blaen (now, disappointingly, being restored) in the Olchon Valley which is at the very west of Herefordshire, England just shy of the border with Powys, Wales...this Blaen Marchant is in Ceredigion, West Wales
