After falling off the roof this morning, I took a trip to Fox Covert Farm for a look round.

Looks a bit uninspiring on first glance.


The pig pens are still looking in good condition



I like plants growing back in


Barn has seen some non-standard use


See, I told you I like shots like these


Red brick buildings, on their way down.


We appear to be missing a few tiles


This one still has a few left


I like this kind of brickwork


Humm. Not looking too good


The bicycle is still there :)


A small amount of soil formation and a mini tree!


Inside the house. It's not lasting well.


It really is falling apart


Stairs have seen better days.




Mind your step!


A bit of filler and it'll be fine.


The upstairs hallway, with not much floor.


With that amount of floor missing, I didn't try and get into this room. One fall in a day is enough!


View from the upstairs window.


That's if for today. I'm knackered!

Nice to see the place from different perspectives :)

Fantastic photos, cm. It's a great explore, this.
Um...I'm a little perplexed, however, at why falling off a roof would make you go on an explore! :mrgreen: Is that like one of those expressions, you know...'I'd rather go on an explore than sit on a roof anyday'. Or maybe...'I'd have to fall off a roof before you'll catch me on an explore'. ;) :lol:

i dont think it is called bird house farm, it is more locally know as the pig farm, but great photos.
is there still some bike jumps in the big barn, did you get to the old grain silo?
i haven't been there for years thanks for reminding me of it.

Well, you know what they say, if you fall off the horse, you get right back on. That applies to roofs, right?
