The Old Sodbury Kaaba

On the A46, leaving Old Sodbury on the way to J 18 of the M4, there's an old house which has been in a dilapidated state for many years and was surrounded by junk. It was a dwelling, but someone bought it - I suspect James Dyson, who has his estate on the other side of the A46 and has been doing a helluva lot of land work in the area, as well as buying up everything scrap of land that's for sale. Must be something to do with inheritance tax...

Work started to clear the site a number of years ago and fences were erected around it, but the house was left. I suspect it has some preservation order on it, despite being totally uninhabitable. However, in the last week there has been activity in the grounds of the house.


I think it's going to be draped in a black and gold cloth and turned into a facsimile of the Kaaba in Mecca.
