Hello, first UrbEx! Utterly hooked on it now. I copy / pasted this from my broken-britain forum post (I'm a new member there too)... hope nobody minds my lazyness!
We had been meaning to do this for some time, and after a beer-fuelled discussion the night before, surprisingly the morning after it STILL seemed a good idea, so me, my brother and our mate set off to have a look.
Nothing like wandering around a disused military airbase to cure a hangover!
^ One of the streets with surprisingly intact houses. There must be 40 or so homes on this site.
^ The playpark. Very eerie seeing that in the middle of all the houses.
^ We followed the sign to the Air House...
^ Kitchen of the Air House
^ Front room. There seemed to be some animal remains in here (possibly rabbits - the site is full of them)... that added to the spooky atmosphere!
^ The attic.
Surprisingly the house was fairly intact. There were a few floorboards missing where the copper pipes had been pikeyed, but no graffiti or anything.
We wandered on and entered one of the large buildings further into the site...
^ The cafeteria... doesn't look very appetising!
^ The cinema, with shredded screen
^ The bar...
^ Bunker entrance... someone has a sick sense of humour!
^ The bunker / nightclub. I found the wall paintings in there very odd.
^ Shattered canteen. Shame about the graf. It seems to be the only building that has been graffiti'd though.
^ Inside one of the dorm buildings... we were opening doors and being met with the most choking mouldy stench. All the dorm rooms were pretty much the same though.
I took 300 pics in all, and we only really covered a third of the site. Definitely worth another visit before it's bulldozed for another bunch of anonymous "homes".
