Hi everyone, this is my first report!
Copy & pasted from Wikipedia:
"Sandhill Park in Bishops Lydeard, Somerset, England was built as a county house around 1720. It was later used as a prisoner of war camp, home for handicapped children and later as a military and civilian hospital."
The grounds are supposedly haunted, and legend has it that many businesses have taken up residence in the buildings since the hospital's closure, but all have suddenly left with no clear reason, leaving lots of paperwork and equipment behind.
The site is made up of several buildings and walled gardens. The newer buildings are thoroughly trashed, there is not a single pane of glass that has been left unsmashed, and the walls are kicked in and scrawled over. The older buildings are less damaged, but many are in a sorry state. However, there are still many interesting discoveries to be had at Sandhill.
Anyway, less talk, more pictures.
Welcome to Sandhill Park, home of Blazes. We'll come to that later .
A switch and strange wall markings in what looks like an old barn.
Tennis courts
Acland house
3 Blue Tiles
Toilet
Firefighting hose
Hot drinks
One of the highlights of the place but very hard to get to, the fire engine. This was left behind by Blazes Fire Museum.
Inside the fire museum.
Museum cafeteria
