So this place cropped up in my FB news feed a while back and I wanted in. I have never asked anyone details on how to find anywhere. I have asked for advice or tips but never locations. I have always sat and researched myself. This was probably one of the hardest, which is why it became so frustrating. Either I was stupid or having a real blonde moment. Turns out, I was just thick! The first place that came up when researching little did I know was actually it, nah I thought, can't be that easy! I was still adamant I wasn't gonna ask anyone. I got to the point I was chatting to one of my mates who had been recently and he provided me with everything I needed to know. Then when I looked it up online I could have kicked myself because I had seen it allready :lol:

Anyway, as you can imagine I was pretty excited about this one, having wanted to see it for about 4 months and actually having the opportunity to drive to it this was it. I was driving the journey and all the time thinking shit, I hate dogs. Especially barky ones. That was my only concern, I knew I was getting in here. There was to be no fail.

So parked the car up walked a little way down to it and went in exactly how I was told to, found access which was really easy and that was it, I was in!

Walking round the corner in to a corridor where there were plants growing off the skirting board and a bath in the middle I kinda loved it allready. Spent quite a lot of time wandering round and got what I wanted in terms of pics. Saw the main house, the accommodation block, the swimming pool and the other little block with the clock in. The clock read 6.10 all the time we were here and by the time we left it was actually working. I have a video of it ticking but uploading pics is a mission so there aint no chance of a video :D2: :D2:

It had lots of decay, the sort I love. Lots of wood too ;) Very pretty and I can imagine in it's day it was was more stunning than I had seen.

Anyway, it was a great day and I am so glad that I finally got to see this place. Pics aren't great but I'm happy!

Enjoy

I would have liked to have seen it without all that shit around it...

I know right! I was well chuffed, texted my mum through excitement and told her Id found something older than her. She wasn't impressed haha! I love finding things like this though.

Always good and to get that research in as simply feels like youve earnt it but at the same time all about what we share :p

The place has such an interesting history and if thats the same dog on site its legend lol.

Cool shots and share (y)

Your not wrong SK, looking for new places always gets caught up in wanting to see what is allready 'found'. At the end of the day if people didn't share there would have been none of this place for me. It does have a very interesting history and that is part of my research too. Places have to have an appeal as they do for everyone. Thanks :D

Why thank you, that 2nd to last shot was a killer! I was stood on the ledge the mechanism was perched on and every shot had my bloody feet in! Got there in the end..

I love your take on the place, some lovely shots! When we were finished we thought "ah we'll just walk past the dog, it wont be any bother" as soon as it saw us it went mad, so we legged it back out the other way haha! :lol:
