Part I
I came across this site while looking for another location and was pleasantly surprised to find a derelict greenhouse of an industrial or epic scale. It looked like it had been empty for at least a year and there was no giveaway as to what had been grown inside. Most of the panes of glass were intact but some were smashed and others had been removed, probably as spares for another greenhouse.
We spent around an hour at the site getting all manner of shots and after editing these were by far the best of the bunch so far. This turned out to be a two part explore with the orchard being discovered nearby the greenhouse, and I have decided to include it in this report rather than writing another report for it. I hope you understand why I am keeping the site confidential as the site sits in the middle of a risky location that I would not like to see over run by others.
Approaching an entrance to the greenhouse
A dangerous site
Looking down the greenhouses pillars
An angled shot of the greenhouses pillars
The entry point
Looking down the greenhouse
Some sort of chamber contained within the greenhouse
The air conditioning system and heating array
Part II
After reading Foxylady's report of the derelict orchard:
[ame]http://www.derelictplaces.co.uk/main/showthread.php?t=3064[/ame] I have always had a fascination with exploring one myself. I think it must be the combination of a site set in a fully rural area with a site of dereliction that is still living, with it being trees.
This site was next to the greenhouse but it was not part of the same site. Looking back on it, the trees looked very derelict with having no leaves on them (though this was probably due to winter) but the grounds seemed to be cut and well tended. This means it might not be a strictly derelict site, and more of a 'live infil'. As such I didn't spend to long on site in case I got spotted. Enjoy the pictures:
Spying on the orchard through the bushes
In the grounds
Trees lined the border of the orchard
Some of the live buildings next to the orchard. Does anyone know what type of fruit they would have bore?
This was the first explore of 2012 and hopefully it will be a start of things to come!
