I’ve been exploring under the banner of ‘Urban Exploration’ for just over seven years now, and have done just under 300 sites.
This is by far the cleanest of them all.
It was so odd going in somewhere so mint. It felt voyeuristic sure, but it often does, especially with European explores where everything is much better preserved.
I’m actually unsure of how long this has been abandoned, the most recently dated item we found was 17 years old, but there’s no way this is 17 years of dust, it’s cleaner than my house.
Hallway:
Living room, featuring the cannon of which the house is named after:
Bedroom:
The Spare room:
The wardrobes were full, and tidy
I’ll always avoid moving things on an explore, especially one like this, and I always try and be respectful. But I really couldn’t resisit trying on the golfing visor. It made me laugh about half an hour later when I was passing this room to see Mr Dan trying the very same visor on!
Bathroom:
Zomg, I love this double basin:
Kitchen: I feel I need to remind myself, as well as you, that…Yes, this is an abandoned house!
The cupboards were full of personal items, all neatly arranged:
Upstairs there was a fantastic man-cave.
At one end was a kids area, probably tidier than any lived in kids area!
And at the other end was a study area:
I don’t know the story of how it was abandoned, which only adds it’s only mystery as you wander around piecing together aspects of the previous occupants lives. I found some medical records dating the man to have just turned 70. He was obviously quite the sportsman in his earlier days, as the trophies around the desk were from a variety of disciplines, from cycling and running to cricket and bowling. The house was however well stocked with a variety of medicines, mainly relating to lung / respiratory problems.
Down in the workshop everything was logical and where you expected it to be:
It was certainly a different experience going somewhere so mint. I do love natural decay. Despite it feeling voyeuristic, it felt like any other explore, documenting items left behind and piecing together a history.
Thanks for reading.
