Urban exploring; the forgotten hall

in Urban Exploration4 years ago

Following on a tip off From @slobberchops I made a visit a week or so later. Here is my take on it.

So I drove past the old place and thought “that’s nice”, never parking close by my visits I ended up a few streets away. Got out onto the cobbled street, half expecting to bump into Vera or Jack Duckworth ‘Twas just like Coronation Street, though a more run down, dare I say squalid area than I expected.

When this was built and for centuries it must have been surrounded by rolling fields and open countryside. A big school is now it’s neighbour. I did expect to bump into some smacked up locals.

Remnants of an English Heritage plaque hangs on the wall....

... and a sign which tells me to “ come on in, enjoy the visit”

“Access is easy” I was told,“ not only is the door gone but half the wall too”

Hmmmmm! Now I’m not saying I had to scale the Everest of black bin bags that had been dumped recently but it was akin to a hike over the Annapurna range!

Joy of joy a nice inviting hole to slip into

Urbex Rule #54: always look for, and photograph the bottle of HP sauce a simple delicacy but an Urbex icon.

A wander round the broken and sad ground floor rooms delivered some nice treasure

Seems like an artist of note was in residence at some point. Deciding I didn’t want to fall into the cellar a quick hop skip and a jump and I was up these stairs in no time

Wandering the rooms the floors up here were sound and secure

I have been told there is a sizeable piece of scalp in the kitchen area complete with hair attached. It seems we both missed it, that or a local cannibal took it away to feast on before we could see it.

Wow! That’s a damn shame, never come across anything like that before

The scalp or the cannibal?

Now that's my kind of house! ... obviously when intact and not falling down. The old papers and stuff are fascinating.
