BlobbyLand, Cricket St Thomas.

Located in the sunny (That's a lie) south UK, and hidden in the precision manicured grounds of lakes and gardens in Cricket St Thomas is a forgotten childhood relic being left to crumble. All those familiar with the Noel Edmonds Houseparty show running in the 1990's will remember Mr Blobby as the shows ridiculous mascot. Mr Blobby's house was an attraction some children may have been lucky enough to visit in the short time it was open. The park closed in 1999 and since then has been left to the elements. (And a group of rowdy ravers who destroyed the site in 2009)

Currently there are no plans to do anything with the site, out of sight out of mind.

















Inside has also been totally trashed. There is very little "Blobby" left in the Blobby house. Mainly just the structure. Just wish I'd got to it before the party kicked off...












The view from above shows how well camoflarged the once colourful house is now, out of sight of the ramblers through Cricket St Thomas.

Abandoned Footprints. =)

Lovely pics. Looks a great little mooch.

What a fun report!

Excellent report I used to hate Mr Blobby though...

The video doesnt work

I don't know which is sadder...Blobbyland going to rack and ruin or the fact that it was ever built

That was different!great pics.

Something different indeed! Cheers for sharing!

Nice and unusual, but I'm sure I'm not alone in saying that the ravers didn't do a good enough job. Mr Blobby was probably the lowest point the Beeb reached in its entire history

Rowdy ravers were using the site a lot earlier than 2009.

Indeed they were Krela. I lived with Cricket as my back garden for 9 years.

My brother worked with the birds of prey and helped with walking the elephants around the estate in it's heyday. Two attractions of the place that were infinitely more worthy of having money spent on them.

Appreciate your effort though OP.

Nice one, not seen anything like that before, thanks for posting

Blobby blobby!!

how cute lol! love it

I have pictures of myself in that house as a 3/4 year old. I'll try to dig out some for reference.

very different report, thanks for posting them for us

I used to visit CST regularly, especially for the Wildlife Stages Rallies which used to be held there regularly.

I have to say I can't recall seeing the Blobby bit - whereabouts in the park was it?

It really wasn't open for that long, they built it not long before Noel's House Party got canned by the beeb and it closed not long after. It was a shit idea and shit place anyway.

Just been looking on the net about this place, apparently it was big news in 2009.
It featured in the Sun

And Daily Mail

After a Captain Stealth posted photos on the internet, the place wasn't so secret anymore
