Mark E. Smith's Old House Has Gone Up For Sale

Many of his possessions are inside...

*Mark E. Smith's* old house in Prestwich has gone up for sale.

The property in Prestwich was The Fall frontman's final home, and a listing went online through Clive Anthony Sales & Lettings earlier today.

The listing quickly went viral amongst Fall fans - many of Mark and his former partner Elena Poulou's possessions are clearly visible.

Books, clothes, a tape recorder, a writing desk, and more have been left behind; *speaking to theQuietus*, the estate agents confirmed that any items would have to be removed by the musician's family.

Certainly, these items are much too valuable to be simply placed in refuge - the possibility of final Mark E Smith writing, or indeed music, is certainly tantalising, beyond the emotional connection his loved ones would have to these items.

The move sparked discussion online, and - curiously - the listing was removed a few moments ago.

Clash contacted Clive Anthony Sales & Lettings, and we're waiting on clarification.

Find the listing *HERE.*



Really heartbreaking this, Mark E Smith's old house is for sale. Still many possessions there. Oh, Mark. So missed. What can be done? https://t.co/O95SKRMYgG @theJeremyVine @fallnews @VariousTimes @theQuietus pic.twitter.com/6JJQT9R8Jg
