The Lake House

 At the weekend I went here on my own.  Fun trying to get into the grounds, situated on a busy road with direct neighbours I wanted to go via the back way I had been told about.  After waiting for numerous dog walkers to go past I managed to get beyond the fence to be greeted with a forest of nettles.  I couldn’t find a way past them so had to go through the front.  Of course more dog walkers appeared and I had to crouch to hide, bloody dog came over sniffing around looking at me crouched in nettles getting stung on the arse. Eventually it buggered off and I got back out.


Getting in via the front was equally as fun because a man decided right then that he needed to load his van, eventually I made a run for it and was in.  Once I checked around the outside for anybody I found a handy opening and was in.  

The first thing I see as I leave the really dark room I had come in by were these fridges, I’ve never seen anything like this before it reminded me of a mortuary.


So this house has been bandied about as a murder house because of a connection between the last owners relative being killed. However, the “murder” occurred elsewhere, no one was killed here. I don’t understand why people exaggerate for clout. 






The house has been undergoing renovations, it’s a Grade II Listed Building, but it seems work has stopped for a while. The downstairs is really dark and has lots of original features as far as I can tell, there was one room full of stuff that you can see in the first picture, the others were pretty bare save for a few bits like a piano, stereo and a lovely old clock.




 


I spent a while here but was very on edge because I was convinced I had been seen entering the grounds.  If I was with someone I would have probably spent some time having a good look at the stuff in the first room but I just wanted to leave as soon as i could.

It pisses me off…

 I’ve been very quiet recently with urbex, I’ve got a few visits to post but currently can’t be arsed.  Let me tell you why… Urbex has gone to absolute shit.  All I see now are posts of the same place from everyone and his dog, like why must everyone all run to the latest find like little rats scurrying after the Pied Piper?  Is the UK scene really that dry? I’ve thousands of pins, most are probably an utter pile of crap but you never know until you go and with the right ideas you can make even the most boring place look interesting through photography.   I’m not being a hypocrite, I’ve been to hotspots and I’ll probably end up at some of them but this need for everyone to immediately turn up and take the same photos and saturate social media with them is mind boggling.  Do it at your own pace instead of all rushing and publicising at the same time and just maybe places won’t get vandalised or sealed within a matter of days. And if the Socials aren’t full o...

St Crispin’s Hospital

  I went here around 3 years ago and I was disappointed with the pictures I took, due to not using a tripod with my camera.  Ella hadn’t been before so we decided to go and have a look.  Not a lot has changed, there’s still building work going on around the site and the bit we wanted to go in seems to be where the builders have their site office.  Lucky for us they weren’t working this day. So the back building is literally roofless and home to birds and decay and really slippery underfoot, unfortunately you can’t access the clock tower unless you’re a braver person than me.  The better building is the one at the front that is still as it was 3 years ago with some added deterioration,graffiti and fox shit.  Unfortunately, unless you want to take your chances beam walking, the upstairs is out of bounds. You can get to the top of both staircases, there’s a nice “spooky chair room” up one of them.   For a small building there’s lots to see, the staircases...

Curse of the Sellout

Image
  For what reason would anyone sell their photos of explores other than to flex and make money. There are many reasons places get destroyed by vandalism and one of these reasons lay at the feet of the sellouts.  Not content with sharing their photos on their social media pages the sellout will sell their photos to the media for a measly sum of money.  The location is then out there for everyone to find including those that purposely ruin locations.   Is that measly money worth it? What do you gain from it? Some likes and comments that blow smoke up your arse.  WOW.  You’re not special when you sell out, you’re actually viewed as a c*nt by those of us who enjoy the hobby and protect locations.  But I guess you have to fund your never ending quest for fame somehow.  Just know that you are a bottom feeder.
