This place has been on my doorstep for years, and I must of been past it a thousand times with out noticing it which is surprising as it is in plain view! I am sure that it is not new here, so please point me in the direction of any previous threads. Already soaking wet from work, I decided to don the Hi-Vis and try my luck. I need not of bothered with the Hi-Vis and there was no luck involved, as this was surprisingly easy access and no disturbance in the hour I was there. There are the obvious contractor and safety signs etc up, along with evidence of someone scratching about in there fairly recently, but I have no idea what the plans are for this place or if there even are any.

The rather tired exterior:

Excellent. Shame it's gone down hill so fast! I've seen externals from only a couple of years ago that look totally different. It's not changed too much inside since my visit last year.
Thanks for sharing :)
 
Thank you for posting!! I have been thinking about visiting here for ages, but was put off by a hardened explorer that said this place was locked up tight. My Nanna lives in the same village and it has been derelict since I was little (i'm 23) I read in the local news paper that is spent some time as a brothel! Either way there is some lovely looking wallpaper and those tiles are to die for!!

Lol, never heard of it as a brothel, but yes was sealed tight until recently! :)

Yeah, I have found a couple of photos of it that seem to have been taken not that long ago and it does seem to have deteriorated quickly. As soon as I saw the contractor signs I knew that I had found it to late, although at least it hasn't been flattened yet.

Thanks for the info. I hope that the brothel story is true, a bit of seediness in its history just makes it more interesting :)

Mate, these are great photos.
Any PP is hardly evident. What camera and lens are you using?

Cheers mate. Just using a bridge camera mate, FujiFilm FinePix S. Until I know what I am doing photography wise, I decided to get something intermediate. Pretty pleased with it though :)
