Residential Urbex: the houses by Winfields across the road from an @slobberchops fail

in Urban Exploration4 years ago

So on a main artery into Chester sits a small street of abandoned 60’s style semi detached houses. I was fortunate that I was not disturbed by Karen of Winfields! They lurk everywhere, but especially Winfields, where you can get everything you need for a camping adventure

The majority of which were totally devoid of treasure. This is a mish mash of three that had stuff in. Grotty kitchens.

It seems like “the wife beater”was the tipple of choice empty boxes everywhere.

The bin men’s collection calendar suggests the properties have stood empty since 2010,

Cyril was a bit flash chase manhattan bank, shame he was racking up debt back in 1989 rolling his credit card bill over. No wonder he was on medication for high blood pressure.

Ordinary mundane objects, that now hold a fascination for me as technology has moved on, future generations will pay to see things like this in a museum.

I’m wondering if someone hobbled home from the party in one shoe.

The pikeys turn up every year, they still do.

I don't get why @slobberchops would rate these as a fail, look like pretty good finds to me -

Oh that painting, I'd head back and pick it up, looks like it could be worth £10000s!

@tipu curate

We tried this place just a week ago to get in these houses, only to be told to leave by a Winfields busybody. That's what he means by 'fail'.

You found some good stuff though, I'd have just ignored the moron!

We could have, but then the law probably would have arrived. Better to avoid them if possible.

😂 I’m on my way!
