Just a heads up for anyone thinking of visiting here, we went today me, sephiroth and P1g30n and noticed a newish looking cateenery that was running between brand new cameras and pirs that have been mounted on all corners of the mansion also some large speakers have been mounted underneath the camera's. Anyway having made the 300 mile round trip we were going to give it a go anyway and took the chance so we climbed the palisade fence and had a look for access however all the old basement openings have been cemented closed, during this time we heard no alarms so continued to look for access, it was at this point that we walked around a corner straight into two police officers, apparently the pir's start the filming and notify the police. The lady police officer was in touch with the video surveilance room and walked us around checking places of the mansion that we had shown interest in ..so anyone looking to visit soon take note its not going to be easy.

points to note

cameras are Live
palisade fence is now fixed
P1g30n can climb like a fecking cat
The Feds were going to bust us until sephiroth started filling up to cry:lol:

The police officers were very nice and I had my little video camera running so here is the video it is shakey and wobbly as it was filmed from just hanging from a lanyard.

I have posted it here in Non public so please dont repost it in public just incase the Feds see it...cheers

Cheers for posting that video... see what a friendly bunch we are up North

I used to work there in my early 20s.... it's a shame to see the place unused.

It's always been a piece of piss to get into the grounds, might be a little more challenging getting into the place nowadays

it was easy to get into the grounds but if you get within a few meters of the building the pirs are tripped...sure will be more challenging from now on ...as I heard someone say and Ive been dying to get it into a post "the old tart has pulled her knickers up"
