Hi everyone! Although this wasn't our first explore together, it was one of our most recent and you've gotta start somewhere so here goes our very first post! *deep breath*

This was an accidental find walking to the bike after work one day. What a happy find it was! Set just behind a car park in a very, very, very overgrown field, I assume this was once a farm before the house lost its roof in a fire. The land belongs to the company nearby and there are plans to soon build a multi-story car park where it’s sat.

The Tack Room:
There is no access to these rooms from the main house so we’re only assuming it was used as a small tack room with a toilet in the back.

As this was an impromptu visit, photos were taken on my Samsung S7 rather than with the cameras. Saying that, I think they turned out pretty alright. The beautiful sunshine certainly helped!

If you got this far, thanks for looking! Is this a little too photo heavy? I chose to post this location first as it's the one we've got the least photos for. I think we possibly need to trim them down haha!

Happy exploring,

I'm probably not the best person to say how many photo's are too many as I still have problems with boundaries:) but I guess as many as you need to show the charactor of a place...you included a bog shot which completes your set:encouragement:
 
That's nice pictures even from a phone. Just remember that a gap between pictures would help, looks like one whole picture. In your collection (as others do) you've got to at least have a picture of a toilet, penis graffiti or a lone chair.

You forgot the shopping trolley Hugh.

You made a grand job of presenting a burnt out site and making it interesting Raven, nicely done, Welcome to the forum
 
Thanks for the tips, guys! Definitely a gap between photos on the next post. We've got photos ranging from June last year til last month which means a lot of catching up to do so I want to get it right. At least we got 2/3: penis graffiti and a good old loo pic, haha!
Thanks again for your comments :D
