Rectory care home, may 2024

[Stealthstar79]

I have been fascinated with this care home since seeing it many years ago on urbex forums. I loved that the rooms were still left as they had been the day it closed.
I saw that the building was becoming more and more unsafe, and thought I was too late to take a peak myself.
It's a beautiful building, unfortunately structurally very unsafe. It had me sweating that's for sure ! Unfortunately its looking worse for wear now, but from natural decay and weather damage, with the floors and stairs collapsed.
Im glad I got to see it myself, and I'm sure some of you wonder about how it looks now.
So I hope you enjoy....
History- can't find much...
It was built in yellow brick under a Welsh Slate roof sometime between 1855 and 1862 . The Church sold it in 1982 and it opened as the Old Rectory Care Home in 1983. The Home closed in 2000 and it has been left to the elements ever since....

I was trembling for a good half hour after getting back across and to safety I really wouldn't recommend it!

Can't sneeze in there as you'll fall through the floor

Good set @Stealthstar79 and good on you for braving this death trap!

Went here a while back and it was pretty sketchy then. From some of the cracks on the external walls, looks like this place will collapse completely at some point in the future.
