I'm keeping the name and location off this thread for the time being. The reasons are that the owners still live in part of the premises, it's isolated and vulnerable, and also because it's an easy entry onto the site with limited access to inside, so could be open to possible forced entry by unscrupulous visitors.
Despite partial access, there are plenty of interesting nooks in and around the buildings. It's in quite good condition but has that slight shabbiness of the non-maintained; peeling paint, weeds, etc.
The first thing I saw was a 'private - keep out' sign, so took some photos from the road, but as I had walked the best part of an hour up a very long, steep hill I decided that I hadn't come all that way for nothing. So, I cautiously walked up the drive, taking pics all the while, and ready to explain myself if necessary. There was a parked car but no other sign of activity so just kept moving further into the complex, taking pics all the time while my luck was in.
Here are some pics. More in the Gallery.
Turning into a winding pathway I came across something rather unexpected - an Anderson shelter. Neat!
Moving on, I found the gym and sports area and an extremely green and stagnant swimming pool.
If the situation changes I will add the history and other relevent information. Also, if anyone's interested you can pm me.
Got to say thanks to Mcspringzy for the heads up on this one as he reminded me about the place. Ta Mc.
Cheers
