Disclaimer now: it's on the grounds of a residence so consideration is necessary

I've decided to do my first post in roughly 12 years on here - this place seemed best suited for this forum. It was found by my friend Urbessex doing some Google Maps surfing. It's nothing major but it reminded me what exploring is all about, just seeing something unusual and checking it out for an excuse to muck around in the outdoors. I'll always love little local explores for that reason, as the sense of discovery makes up for the scale and quality of the structures. We first went at dusk after a fish n chips and a walk through the countryside, but it was too dark to take photos of much quality given that I'd left my tripod. We returned slightly earlier a few weeks later and had daylight on our side. The best find was probably the old JCB. Also present was several large greenhouses forming the nursery, as well as a half-finished building which appears to have strangely lacked a roof for years until it was added several years ago, but still never finished. I don't know if there's honestly much history of note, but my guess is a lot dates to the 1960s-70s perhaps.
