This place has recently been covered by two other members so I’ll spare you any details.
The explore: It was a gloomy day as I met a non member who’s also a non explorer here. After a lousy year in so many ways, this was a real treat. The mill is small but such a lovely explore.
On to the house... Getting in was no problem or so I thought as my boot slipped on the draining board and my caboose came crashing down on a rather glorious array of shards of glass still sticking out of the window frame. After my friend stopped howling with laughter the only thing hurt was my pride. I could not believe my luck at a house that remained untouched and not ruined by metal thieves or those nasty people who like to smash places up. Peeling wallpaper, cracking paint and that strange retro 70’s kitchen! As I’m setting up a shot in the lounge my friend points up. I see, the first floor is falling into the lounge directly above where I’m standing (but there’s a support holding it all up so that’s ok). Later I would do the walk of death on said saggy floor to get a shot of the bathroom because ya know, it needed to be done.
As I’m moving about the place exploring rooms, my friend bolts in practically hysterical, “there are motion sensors in here and we’re setting them off!” Followed shortly by “there’s a man outside!” A very good rule is to never take a non explorer exploring. No alarms were set off so I wasn’t worried. The fisherman outside (and I use the term loosely) continued to change his position on the river bank depending on where we were in the house.
We left everything as we found it and quickly retreated. Honestly, I expected to get shouted at as we left the property but the “fisherman” followed us back to our cars. He got in his oversized American Dodge Ram and drove off without incident.
So boys and girls, do not go into the house, the sensors work and I’m pretty sure the rusty cctv camera on the exterior barn/garage works as well. The locals are watching it quite closely and rightfully so, it’s a gem.
On with the pics and thanks for looking.
