Abstract
A recent television programme in ‘The World About Us’ series showed the various six‐legged or four‐footed sitting tenants and unwelcome visitors that find an old cottage a desirable residence at the various seasons of the year. Through the stages of its conversion and re‐occupation by people, some insects, fungi, rodents, mites and moulds disappeared, only to be replaced by other species more adapted to the new environment. ‘Vacant Possession’ is a relative term.
