Inside abandoned cottage left to rot whose owner walked out and never returned

Frozen in time, an abandoned cottage in Leek, Staffordshire, offers a rare glimpse into a life that has remained untouched for over a decade.

The home, nicknamed ‘the potter’s cottage’, was once occupied by a family of four, with the father working for a local pottery company. Urban explorer Kyle from Leeds discovered the cottage in its sorrowful state, with its furniture and belongings still intact.
