Not much can be said about this other than absolutely amazing. Explored with Treadstone, TBM and the girlfriend.

Few more pics can be found here http://www.flickr.com/photos/mookie427/sets/72157624427988013/ thanks for looking
 
A great set. I like the cooker/stove in picture 2. I would of had to take some closeups of those rusty doors and grille.
 
Cheers guys

I feel I should thank D-Kay for posting this location first as I had no idea it even existed until we started digging around the net for info! What we found odd was the small partitioned off obviously used garden on the side in the foreground of the exterior pic, there were even hanging baskets on one of the doors of the manor on that end!

Thats because the east side of the site is live mate where the owners live while renovation takes place:)

Ahh, we thought it might have been something to do with that, it spooked us a bit at first, and again when they were removing quadbikes from the container, sitting there revving the engines and talking for a long time...wouldn't like to bump into them on the way out though I don't think they'd be best pleased!
 
The owner might cut you in half and exhibit you!!!
Is that the owner? :eek: I hate that fecking guy...bloody charlatan. Pinches ideas directly from 1960s Conceptual Artists, doesn't even render them as well and gets all the credit! Sorry about the rant, but untalented and unoriginal 'con-artist' artists like that really make me sick! :icon_evil

He just sold some of his stuff for about £100 million,so guess he can easily afford the scaffolding!!:mrgreen:

He still can't afford getting a personality transplant to stop him being a smug pretentious tw*t tho! :)

Maybe we should make a little non damaging installation for him in there. Maybe a festering pile of mouldy pigeon corpses or something. I'm sure it would make it's way into the Tate modern in no time!

I don't like him either, can you tell? :)

Having said that, the building and the photographs are magnificent, nice one mookster!
 
Like the period features though and some nice photography as well - glad Mookster has not ended up as an exhibit and is still in one piece:)
 
Great pictures, especially like the stove but plenty of other period features. Must have been a bit unnerving with the owners so close.
Glad its not owned by that D H Damien Hirst, I met him when he bought a restaurant in a town local to me, what a ...............

It was surprisingly relaxed up until the point all the noises started below us and outside, we switched from 'chilled' to 'stealth' mode for the rest:mrgreen:

You can see in the first pic on the right, the small fence is the border of the owners garden
 
My wife loves the range in the second photo, plenty of black lead and elbow grease and it wil be as good as new.
Amazing building,
