After a nice long weekend in Somerset and H and I getting our wires crossed about booking time off I a day off to myself. We had a few explores planned for when we were away but they didn't happen in the end. It was a lovely day and I was really tempted to have a cheeky solo explore but I decided to have a drive and go to the woods that we sometimes walk the hound in. I recently got a few IR filters to have some fun with and wanted to try them out at a pond in the middle of these woods. But me being me I took a wrong turn and started to wonder where the hell I was, so I decided to walk back parallel to where I'd come from and back track to where I could get my bearings again. And to my utter disbelief I stumbled upon this place! For a second I thought I'd found something new, but as I nosed about I started to think I recognised the house. I took my pics and made my way home. I was sure Brickworx had reported this place so I dropped him message and he kindly confirmed it was Hi-Roll Cottage, and like me he was pretty shocked to see what had happened here. Even though this place is code named, its in the arse end of nowhere, you can't really make it out on Google Maps, but the idiots have some how found it and set about their usual scumbag ways. There has been further natural decay, which is inevitable with a place this bad, and some further collapsing. I like places that are naturally a mess, but what I found in the garden really saddened me.
First off, the house:
And now to the garden...
Yep, the ambulance has been torched!
I could see trails of diesel all over the grass. They had obviously tried to torch the lot, not knowing that diesel doesn't ignite as easy as petrol etc.
And the other cars have been smashed up, with the WORST graffiti ever on the hearse...
Yep - you read that correctly - dead n reasting! Absolute morons!
Despite the mindless vandalism it was still a nice little unexpected explore. Just a shame to see it in such a sorry state. The one good thing about this explore was I got to practice photographing in a condition that I am not used to - bright sunlight! I'm so used to grey and overcast days, hence all the blown out ares!
Thanks for looking!
