Em, is that it? No history, no interior shots, and just one big overgrown wreck of a house? I'd go and get some real explores under your belt before showing us anything like this again!
Is that a big cellar in pic 1, or is it on the side of a cutting? Not far from me, so I might have to take a closer look

For some reason I can't see pic 1. This may have been better put up as a lead rather than an explore

I'll probably pass close by next weekend, so I might have to take a detour. I can't pinpoint it on google maps though. Any pointers oldbuoy?
Directly across the road from the station

Hello Electro. The station site is about 7 miles from Kings Lynn just off the a47.I have been there. It is on the disused Lynn To Dereham Railway. I was at anither station on the line not long back at Middleton towers.Do you fancy an explore? If so P.M me.
No it is Not. It was the inside Lever Frame which was taken. It went to Thuxton station Box.

Well might not be a good report, but it's a great find. If it means someone else will go inside it's got to be worth it in the end.

Call me mad but there don't look like there's gonna be much but over-growth in there. Not really a great explore, plus the photo's added across all of his posts are quite awful!!!!
You could say the same about a type 24 pillbox or an ROC post, but it doesn't stop a lot of us from climbing across moors a god knows what else to document their existence.

All I'm saying is that one photo of an over grown wooden shed don't really justify space on and urbex forum. If there were some interior shots, some history and some interest then it's worth it. There are some allotment shed round the corner from me in better condition and of more historical value than this, so what is the story?
Come on Virusman
, we had a full thread about stench pipes. One of the great things about DP is that we have a very laid back attitude as to what constitutes an explore (compared to some other sites) . As a new member we should encourage Oldbouys participation on the site, he may be new to the digital world.On the Furness railway we had 30+ signal boxes at one stage or another, all the redundant ones were demolished as soon as they fell out of use. If this was near me I would be out at first light to check it out.
As I pointed out in my first post on this thread it would have been better as a lead instead of a report, but it is still a useful addition to the site.

This was taken October last year, so I guess oldbouys pictures must pre-date this.
Don't know how much will be left now.
