This is my first post on here and only my second Urbex so bare with me! i hope you enjoy! so far i have external pics and a few internal through windows etc but i shall be returning and taking internal photos 
Bessingham manor is set back in a large feild barely visible from the road hidden by a sea of nettles and overgrown weeds. The manor was built in late 1870's and was owned by the Spurrell family, the last of the spurrells that lived here died in 1952 the house was reowned and has been unlived in since this day. the new owner soon discovered the repairs on the building were too costly and soon enough water started leaking through the roof after many years resulting in the top floors giving way. now much of the house stands as an empty shel,l but there are parts of it still intact and it still contains so much character from all those years ago.
on approach to the manor we had great difficulty getting through the many nettles that stood in our way...
after walking around the outside we came across one area of the house that had completely fallen through there was an open window leading to this part there was no roof nor where there any other doors etc.
nature had completely taken over this area. and quickly ive seen previous posts of this area from others that are fairly recent and the difference is astonishing. we entered this area and were amazed, what would of been stairs were now crumpled to the ground and overtaken by weeds and nettles
whats left of an old fireplace
there was still coal left in here
nature is reclaiming its ground
the windowsil still home to perfumes
too many nettles to get in here needed more clothes on to explore this! shorts were a bad idea!
Finally we had one more walk round before it got too dark and got a glimpse of inside.
this place has completely blown me away the character it still has the emotions that still run through the walls, its so sad to see it falling apart but such an amazing place to see. you can imagine how it was all those years ago. such an enchanting place. i cant wait to go back to get internal pictures.
the photos i have dont do it justice.
news is that its going to be demolished and then a new manor built in its place using the materials salvaged from the old manor.
thankyou for reading this i hope youve enjoyed this as much as i did
