Not much info on this site, I was told about it by friends who are helping set up a Zombie Paintball centre! Thanks G and J! So it was a permission visit but I don’t think they expected me to venture so far into the place!
It is pretty badly damaged and dangerous with lots of tarpaulins to stop leaks rotting the floors – too late sadly!
The main building was put up in 1759 in the Georgian style, in 1960 it became a residential place for handicapped people and many extensions were added.
Now it is empty and the owners made a pastime of shooting fridges with shotguns by the nearby Lewis Carroll Unit (Which I shall post as a separate explore)
Internally it was like a maze and one staircase was blocked off leaving me to retrace my dangerous route disgruntled!
Enjoy!

Office! But for the hole in the ceiling – it was intact!


Plaque! You can’t use these terms anymore!


Relax and tell me about your mother!


Big fridge!


Abandoned rally car! There was a go-cart in the adjacent room!


Kitchens.


View of the rear – identical to the front which I forgot to photograph.


Last orders!


Extension roof, other way.


Transport?


Oil!


Rain rain, go away!


Intact 2nd floor room.


The cellars!


Clockface and tower.


Peeling corridor – one of many!


Pool!

Nice one, like how the office is untouched apart from the hole in the ceiling.
