It is annoying when you can’t find even a scrap of information about a decaying property. This one is next to an old mill, and even the mill has been renamed to something else.
The architecture tells me it's a relic of the early 20th or late 19th century, yet there's a dearth of information.
The house is substantially newer and, at a guess, likely a product of the 1960s. I see many like it close to where I live, generally detached but not lookers.
We had been putting this one off as it looked like a right shit-hole. Pulling up to a very long straight road, that assumption seemed very correct. @anidiotexplores nimbly jumped the wall while my dithering cost me.
He was probably thinking, 'where the fuck is he', but wisely kept the noise down, as literally a second after his jump, another car pulled up right next to mine.
…'this was a comparatively empty road and you park inches from me and then fuck around getting out of your car like you are geriatrics’…
Talk about annoying. I had to lean against the wall looking around with rotating spacey eyes while whistling a non-descript tune.
The best and classic example of how to look innocent and not appear to be a wall-climbing, derp-entering, no-good trespasser on paper.
After what seemed like ten minutes the car emptied, while the ex-inhabitants traipsed down the road at approximately 1mph, looking behind frequently and sending suspicious looks.
...it's not like I want to steal your car, you set of cunts...
The wall was deliciously easy to vault, even for ageing me and I was expecting @anidiotexplores to tell me, 'done, it…, let's go'; he doesn't arse around.
Instead, I found him still focusing on the externals. Maybe he saw what was going on and was emanating some shreds of sympathy from the other side of the wall.
‘The Terrible Stockport House', looked very tinned (or wooded) from this angle, as well as super overgrown for an urban property. The one good thing was that it was quite isolated, with no nosey neighbours for once.
There were two ways to access the rear, and all must be checked out including this one. Use your arms to shield getting poked in the eye, and hope that none of that stuff is nettles.
The rear boasted a large garden, more like a jungle, and the house was still not letting us in. How can something so shit-looking be sealed?
…but there it was, nestling within a concealed corner, some lovely person had delicately peeled back the tin allowing us to join the crap graffiti and red cocks.
So much to see, and you didn’t need to go upstairs to get your fill. Just look up and you can mostly see the visuals skyward as well as what’s in front of you.
A lack of stairs as well as a lack of first floor boards to stand on often impede our way, but not in 'The Terrible Stockport House’. A most handy door had been propped up specifically to aid our plight.
…'@anidiotexplores viewed something terrifying up there. I just had to follow, some things cannot be missed'…
As this is so long ago, I am sure that I did go up there, but finding anything besides massive holes in the floor and in some rooms, no floor, photography was going to be extremely challenging.
However, this image of bed springs and ultimately beds under the springs confirms I made the difficult decision to break into a sweat hauling myself up.
Not for long, as walking safely everywhere was not an option, as you can see by this image once I had navigated the blue door to descend.
Tiles are generally reserved for kitchens, and if this was one it was quite large.
Then again, sporadic tiles appeared to be abundant in most of the rooms.
@anidiotexplores was non too impressed and can be seen heading for the exit. Empty coke bottles and old worn tyres don’t tend to float our boats.
Yes, this house is in Stockport, Manchester, and you can even go upstairs. What are you waiting for?

Red cocks and blue doors. Its like a bad blues song :OD
Yes, unfortunately more penis content is coming soon, the sad state of the UX community in todays world.
Where would we be without the chavs and their love of spray paints cocks!
I've often wondered what motivates a person to graffiti paint a member on a wall? I don't see the point. Is it the individual reaching out in a cry for help over their lack of self-worth because their own member is minuscule, misshapen or, heaven forbid, one of those turtle ones? Maybe it's a self portrait or a penis homage? I'll never know I suppose, but it makes literally no sense to me.
Hmm, actually I've never wondered that at all but it still makes no sense that boys are so enchanted with what's in their pants they have to paint it on walls.

Hehe, it's always been a mystery. Maybe they are expressing their long held secret longing for it. Joint that a flock of them will descend from the sky and give the drawer a good rubbing 🤣🤣
Some like to hold it and others like to paint it on walls I suppose; curious behavior for sure.
Becca 🌷
Made me chuckle 😀
A little chuckle now and then is always welcome.

This is probably going to sound strange... But this is my “photo of the day at #Hive”... It's a Picasso but with added touch of crazy!... hahaha! :)).... Great!
You are pure talent my friend!... Excellent post as always!... Thanks!

There must be something smelly up there, that's all I can think off. Maybe some of the pigeons shit came alive and threatened to attack? 😀
That inside looks terrifying.
Next time you're up here, we will go exploring! 😃😀
We'll have that wheel if no one claims it
I could probably supply you with a decent supply of old bald tyres if you're interested? 😀
Slicks you say, nice.
Yes, they seem to have babies in places like these.
It's crazy whats about, the Moor Hospital near us would have been a crazy one, I think it's been revitalised now, it was an old Asylum pyschiatric facility, imagine the horrors and curiosities you'd find in there and just a quick jaunt up the M6.
Do you mean Ridge Lea in Lancaster?
Aye, it was the Moor or the nutter house as I was growing up, another one we wandered into cain'd was Ellel Grange, the Church just visible from the A6, allegedly a Cult that was like something out of a game or horror movie, memorable

2023, sadly that's the state of my content.
I vetoed several that year that were not worthy of exploring. South Yorkshire as I recall, some bad bad places over there.
agh! and too far to travel for me
Definitely seems like it was a bit of a bust, but I am glad that you were able to get in fairly easily compared to some of the other ones.
I try and mix them up a little, the good with the bad explores. They are all fun though.
I always find it fascinating how these spots tell untold stories of the past, even if they're just crumbling walls and scattered tiles. Finding hidden corners and imagining what life used to be like there feels like a reallife adventure.
Sometimes I can't find much, besides a few tiles on the walls. Things easily get lost when the walls start crumbling, and I'm not one to dig through the dust and rubbish underfoot.
Do you ever feel unwelcome in places like this, I mean feelings of not belonging there or that something there doesn't want you ion there?
Becca 🌷
Only once, in an old hospital in Batley, West Yorkshire. I thought it demolished but it seems it's still there. A room was very cold, more so than the rest of the place. Other than that, I think my spirit sensor is turned down to almost zero!
Yes, that's what I'm talking about.
There's places I go where I feel that and some have felt downright malevolent, several castles in the UK and other parts of the world, the really old places. Some I've been able to tolerate and others I've had to exit the room or location.
Becca 🌷
wow, this is amazing you narrated it as if I am there 🤩
I try and make them interesting, even if they are crap like this one!
Reading this post seems like I am laughing silently loud while watching you guys sneaking around to get into this house. And I feel you, that feeling of not getting any info about an abandoned place but remain in mystery. 😆 Good job, nobody tries to stop you!🫢
We always have a laugh, this is part of it.., but it can be tense sometimes. Everyone thinks were ae there to make trouble, and that's the furthest thing we want.
Reminds me of the saying, "Nothing lasts forever." Time will change everything. !BBH !LOLZ

Dick graffiti, a classic on the wall of the trashouse !LOLZ
There are never any shortages of dick graffiti. Shame there was little else inside besides the thrill of getting in.

from outside the house didn't look that bad so i didn't expect the interior to b that bad to b honest, the time effect is so strong- looks like the last time it had renovation was along time ago- it's as f there were a hurricane inside the house, there r many much older constructions that could hold very well against time so probably the building materials play a major role, i wonder if it's gonna b restored or "just delete & start from scratch", n many countries n europe buildings n bad conditions r leased for free like for 10ys or so f someone accept to do the renovation of the property, cool post- well done, have a good day
I have no idea who owns this and why they would let it get in such a state. It's no exactly commonplace, but I see these occasionally.
i see, the narrow path n the garden & the trees slowly taking over the place looks so cool anyway so thanks for sharing that adventure

Sneaking to get in this house must have been a lot of work
This is a lovely discovery
Nice one!
Wooow. So good
It's truly unfortunate that there’s no information available about such a historically significant place. Many old mills and the buildings around them often hold important pieces of history. Hopefully, more information will surface in the future.
