A local find that has been sitting right under the radar.
History
The old Rolls Farm House is the remains of Rolls farm before the land was purchased by the local council to build a water treatment plant in 1948, the plant was opened in 1952.
The farmhouse later became a training site for the Sussex Police and was fitted with modern lighting.
Eventually dereliction started to set in and the police stopped using it.
It was due for demolition last year but it never happened.
The Explore
Checked out this place one evening as I spotted it on Google Maps. It was pretty dark by the time I had got inside, but made no difference as it was pitch black inside with the boarded up windows anyway.
It is full of furniture, but looks like it was put there to emulate a normal house for police training. It's a pretty weird place as its a mix of new and old. Old 1940s electrical fittings next to new industrial light fitting. The decay and paint peeling was really nice, and made for some decent shots.
I returned the next morning to get some external shots in the daylight.

The new light switch
The lock for the gate had been cut twice?!
