After a fantastic splore and camp over at the ancient pottery buildings on Anglesey, will let Sshhhh... post them piks, I urged us forward to these pair of dormant manors , well big uns. Worth a mooch but not too much inside artefact wise but in a pretty stellar location, right next to each other, almost languishing on the shores of the Straits , it does make for a nice afternoon out, can't find much history but apparently once belonged to a wealthy quarry owner.
Manor 1
Alas the fairies have already paid a little visit
altho definatley not thrashed within an inch of its life YET
It did it seem to have a narrow escape from death by fire as this burnt out caravan only feet away gives testament too, whether by accident or bell endery the results are invariably the same.
Strangely there was indications of cubism
There are some interesting outbuildings in and around too, one was practically a house in its own right but access was too tricky and we had more than enough to look at for now...
This long room a boathouse ??? large amounts of empties suggest this is / was the venue for near beachside party times
On thru the rather large and somewhat overgrown grounds we past this ornate giant, despite assurances from Sshhhh... that this was a Gunnera I still thought TRIFFID!
Eventually we arrive at Manor II
featuring this quite large inside outside room
like house 1 this has been visited by fairies and also airsoft armies
I loved this, it was bit like the top row of some fancy gold wrapped chocolates, as you can see 3 have been opened, bagsy the Turkish Delight
But as is so often in life all that glitters isn't gold and all that stained glass isn't erm.... stained glass its.....STICKERS Pah! an outrage indeed, a few of my fellow explorers were gravely disillusioned by this
Lately on our splores , all cellars contain the opportunity for the time honoured classic of the Solitary Urbex Chair Shot or SUCS for short so without further ado...
House II features what we called a secret garden , surrounded by a very high wall
Lost to nature and very overgrown it was almost a magical place of discovery featuring greenhouses overgrown with nettles but also fig trees and grape vines and in the garden cherry trees and eating apples, if you came here at the right time of year you wouldn't need to bring your own picnik
Thanks for looking was an awesome time here.
