Unfortunately the site today is very different to that depicted in this report, the kids have found it and taken it to pieces, a real shame.
History
Judging from the range of dates through the mountains of documents, this site was used between 1974 - 2010
This site was supposedly used as a management training facility, equipped with 20 bedrooms (17 being numbered) kitchen, lounge, several ensuites and a shared bathroom, croquet court, tennis pitch and an outdoor pool. However taking into account the massive amount of personal photos and childrens toys, it resembled a hostel more than anything else, although somebody with kids living in the un-numbered rooms sounds a little more plausable.
I have been anticipating and looking for this site ever since the fantastic original report by @Gromr123 back in april, to finally see it with my own eyes after so long was truly mesmerising. I could not stop obssesing over the thousands of personal and buisness related documents, hundreds of names and stories, with dates going back to the mid 70-s, the place was littered with items such as antique sewing machines and 'new-age' technology from the eary 2000's, this place was a real time capsule anr all round a fantastic explore
Photographs
Taken by both me and my girlfriend
ill keep it roughly in order of what i saw, par a few
kitchen area didnt even look derelict, just dirty
this is when we started to feel unwelcome
Hundreds of personal photographs, really felt special to look at
me obsessing over the hundreds of dates on all the different documents
unfortunately access to the roof had been boarded off
moving outside, the shed was still full of odds and ends
Despite being different to how i percieved it to be from others reports, 'Punch lodge' Was certainly worth the wait and lived well up to my expectations
thank you for reading
