Formerly a manor

This article relates to that special photographer again, i call “BEFORE”.  Looking at a recent visit to an abandoned and former manor house.

I wanted to capture some remnants that had survived the destruction and vandalism, this old fire place and hose is quite uncanny.

From looking around the stair case you can only be impressed by what size this house must have been, as i descended the steps there was a sense of plunging in to darkness and became too eery.

Walking out the house you are confronted by a small corridor which must have been some type of pre-fab/temporary buildings.  Totally taken over by nature and trying to burst in any gap possible, vandalism obviously has not helped.

In one of the final rooms you enter an area used an office, the desk still fairly intact.

Of all the rooms, the evidence of foilage and wear was evident in the rooms, but how did this chair survive so well in comparison?  The room appeared to be a bedroom, with wardrobe and dresser, there was evidence of beds close by too.

The house although now just a shell was at least stories high and had basement levels too (dark and dangerous considering the state of the house) so I only stayed in the safer areas.  The strange thing here is the house has a link to World War 2 as it was used as a hospital, because of a massive annex to the grounds with multiple buildings (gated and fenced off).
