Station House, Fordham

There is not much to say about this site other then it was open on the 1st of September and closed in the 60's (13 September 1965). After that it was converted into a Recycling/ Skip Hire Facility . It is now completely abandoned and rotten even though I read that is hasn't been closed for that long ...

So ... has we go in this is the view you get.

I really thought of trying to do some kind of "circus balancing thing" and reach the "floor" but somehow I knew I would be heading to a painful fall ...

This is how the 1st floor looks like ...

Nice one, that is really trashed now!
The 'To Let' sign next to the gas bottle is the old one, and new ones have just gone up. The Asbesdos removal crews are now on site too, so expecting some change. Glad you got to see it!

Yes, one lucky thing on that road trip
It is a shame because the House is so beautiful , the details, the space ... don't know how people let things get to this point ...
I'll be heading towards that area really soon ... if anyone sees the removal crew reaping everything out ... GET ME THE BATHTUB !!!

I rather like this including its damages, something about it
thanks alot

Wrecked but interesting,the station house would have been great in its day! thanks for sharing.
