Summary

View of semi-derelict old white house, named the watchmaker's shop, with bare trees outside the gate to the left, indicating that it is a winter month. There is a dark, heavy clouded sky but a strong afternoon light is shining on the near-side of the cottage. There is a white fence surrounding the cottage. There are two oriel windows and the porch is falling in. The front section of the roof is destroyed and all that is left are the wooden founations. To the left are two gravestones and various other buildings in the background.
