Clues and codes on the gable end




      It rather looks if this old house is coming down. It has a builder's fence around it and Buddleia growing through the roof. It's fair to say that it isn't in good repair and even an enthusiastic young couple couldn't or wouldn't want to take it on as a project.
      I've asked quite a few local people about who actually owns the house and they say they haven't got a clue, 'always been derelict', 'never known anyone to live there', 'no idea who owns it'. fairly standards replies.
      There's an old television aerial and the bracket for an even older aerial on the chimney stack. There's also a satellite dish. I think that it was a safe house and right under the radar and off the grid but a safe house for what.
      I've stopped asking questions in case I'm warned off by the man in the long black coat.
      Meanwhile those letters on the gable end, S, I, W, masquerading as braces must be a clue or a code.
      The plot thickens.
