At the beginning of my project, I took the title very literal and was actually looking at old houses and the atmosphere they had. I was told that there was a big house for sale in Burtonwood, severa miles from my house, in town I'd never been in before. I had a look on the website of the agents that were selling the house and saw that it was an open house on Wednesdays and Saturdays 2pm-3.30pm. The following Wednesday I dragged two of my friends on two bus journeys to get to Burtonwood, as I didn't have a clue where abouts in Burtonwood it was we just got off in the centre and asked in the local pharmacy (the only shop that was open) which way we needed to walk to get to Hall Lane. It took us 20 minutes to find Hall Lane and about 40 minutes to get to the end of Hall Lane to find that we must of completely walked past it without knowing. At this point we were absolutly freezing as it wasn't the warmest of days so we went into the Fiddle I'th Bag pub. Lets just say that had an atmosphere.
