When you get offered a location that is only about a 30 minute drive from home, only a fool would choose not to pop along and have a mooch
Thank you @slobberchops , the guru, for the heads up.
Thinking hmmm! nice sign
Apparently this place is known as the "toy mansion" within the Urbex Uk world.
How lovely, no doors to "stumble" and "fall" against, no windows to climb through, and who doesn't enjoy a bit of danger.
C,mom
Let's mooch
A good start, nicely dim but bereft of treasure.
The remains of what seems to be an old coal fired boiler.
I saw a couple of vintage deck chairs at a local car boot the other Sunday priced at £20 each, AH Harr! There be treasure in these here parts.
Haven't cars evolved, I drive an Astra, in fact I have had 4 different Astra's over the years. My current one is very very fast.
I completed my third speed awareness course last friday and will also have a clean licence come August, unless................!!!
"Oh my days, Ted, Ted, TED! a visitor, and look at the state of me dancing round for your amusement""
"Oh! hullo" said Ted, moving his hands from his nether regions and turning pink with embarrassment.
"Don't mind me" I said, "It reminds me of the time when my sister walked in whilst I was admiring mother's Littlewoods catalogue, all those years ago"
"Carry on, I'm just taking some snaps, I shall knock the door on my way back"
"Cheers" said Ted.
I am getting the understanding now of why it is called the toy mansion.
Lovely 60's mantlepiece with contrasting wall paper too
A dark set of stairs beckoned, should I? I could hear strange moaning, unwelcoming sounds, then I realised Ted, was in the next door room with his floosie.
Let's go!
"Ola, Senor, you want me to dance for you"
Oh FFS, what the fuck is this place.
"Cheers babe, maybe later"
"Ok, Senor, but be quick, Ted will be up here soon and he is insatiable"
"Yeah, I did notice"
Feeling a little light headed with all this unexpected excitement it was rather fun balancing on the beams.....
....and for my efforts!
There was a lot of pre 60's brown furniture in the bedrooms, I guess the farm ownership is generational.
Did a search, there was a haulage company using this farm as its registered head office from 1999. Run it seems by three named Atkins.
It was forced into liquidation by the courts in 2004 and was eventually wound up in 2008 then dissolved in 2011. Not surprising really when two of the officer out of three each took £20k a year as "loans" in the first couple of years from a fledgling company.
Spending the company money on flash cars indeed.
Waddington's table soccer the poor mans Subbuteo , I had both, I was a spoilt little brat.
The yellow fronted blue peter annual dates from 1964, and is the first one released, similar copies are selling on that well known auction site for a minimum of £65. The other from 1967 you can pick up for £15.
The Rupert Annuals £80 a pop.
There be treasure
The tourbus thieves missed these!!!
"Hi big boy, fancy a ride?"
Fucking hell what is it with this place
"No, not today thanks for the offer though"
Time to have a mooch through the out buildings
The usual stuff you find in barns at farms, scrap cars and vintage tractors, and stuff that gets thrown out
"Oh! We were expecting Ted, but never mind, you'll do, get your wang out"
Jesus, Mary, and all the fucking saints, Toy Story was never like this, I'm living in a parallel universe.
Ted is wild 🤣
It's nice to see a place that's not been raided, everything ruined by water, or burned!

cheers @ninahaskin , was fun!!!
I'm not sure if it's been tour bussed and the person who gave me this is non other than your best mate from Yorkshire with the mask.
I'm doing my Stoke ones now from last August.., this is when I could have done 'The Toy House' but it was a little out of the way. Seems I should have, it's pretty decent. Maybe one for the next trip south.
Twat! (not you), think you should keep off the radar after getting busted !!!!!
Another awesome explore, really enjoyed this one with interesting toys noted, even recognize some !LOLZ

@grindle, I sent you an $LOLZ on behalf of @joanstewart

LOL. throwback to our childhoods
Definitely a walk down memory lane, still have the Beano Annual edition from my sons, yikes creepy old, need a garage sale here!
LOL treasure!
Brilliant photos. It is disheartening to witness the struggles faced by a family who once enjoyed the comforts of their home but were ultimately forced to leave due to financial difficulties.
cheers @krabgat thanks for stopping by and your comments, well is their misfortune due to their own incompetence? I mean you don't take money out of a company you are trying to build?
Congratulations, your post has been added to Pinmapple! 🎉🥳🍍
Did you know you have your own profile map?
And every post has their own map too!
Want to have your post on the map too?
Hahaha great read @grindle 😉🤣
What a find… very cool.
Thanks for sharing.
Have a lovely weekend!
cheers @littlebee4 , glad you enjoyed it, have a good week
Thanks @grindle 😎
Toy mansion indeed. Watch your back in there. Ted might sneak up on you 👀
LOL, I am now very wary of pink teddies
Fine place for an explore - I'm amazed that a place like that hasnt been taken on by someone else !
cheers @hoosie thanks for stopping by, yes it would make a nice project for someone, checking the property value it is £400K
May I say that your post is very captivating, the pictures kept me in suspense, I was very curious to see the next ones after which I went back to the first ones again.
I will definitely go through the attached pictures a few more times, thank you for sharing this place with us.
cheers @triplug much appreciate your interest
You're welcome!
Greetings
Hmmm the place looks stoked up, the wood looks freshly gathered, like kids were living here before
hey @fredaig thanks for stopping by, yes kids of maybe a couple of generations
I thought as much. So those things over there doesnt have owners? In my country one can hop in they and sell every single thing there since its an abandoned site.
Thank you for thanking me☺️
you're welcome x
