Way back in February I explored some abandoned dodgems, giving me my first taste of urbexing. Since then i’ve been interested in pursuing the hobby further but it’s taken until now to actually do so. Here are some shots from my first proper Urbex adventure!
Steve and I set off not especially knowing where we were going, but that added to the feel of adventure! Both of us were feeling pretty ropey from the night before so we had plenty of wrong turns and missed junctions before we actually arrived at our destination.
Found!
Doesn’t look too huge from the outside huh? Boy were we in for a surprise…
Before heading in we decided to have a look around the grounds and various outbuildings, this is the side of the building.
And a slightly bright shot of the rear, very overgrown around here.
Carrying on around to the other side we came across someones camp.
Time to explore an outbuilding, this one looked like it might’ve been a stable once..
Right, on to actually exploring the house! Obviously beginning with the ground floor 🙂
Time to brave those stairs…
After this room we decided to venture up a narrow flight of stairs to see what kind of state the roof was in.
Roof tiles were pretty much all gone, meaning rain and allsorts runs straight into the house, real shame.
View down from the skylight. Enough roof time to see what the rest of the first floor has to offer.
This bit was a little scary… some floor was missing and had been replaced by a door, which was in no good state either.
The next few rooms were in much better condition than the rest with wallpaper, fittings and some furniture remaining.
Ground floor, done. First floor, done. Roof, done. Basement? er… why not..
Despite being creepy and dark as hell the basement was actually really interesting, housing the boiler room, kitchen and copius amounts of storage.
And with that we were done, we made our exit back to the outside world and home.
Great place, now where to go next? 🙂

Woah you are brave to go poking around in such an unstable looking building!! I tink you got some interesting pictures but i find that it’s always a shame to see what was once obviously such a nice building fall to pieces like this!
I totally agree, this place would’ve been an amazing home, it was massive! Great place to explore but I would like to see it restored to it’s former glory.
It wasn’t actually too unstable, just that one corridor with a door laid across a hole – my student house was worse! 🙂
Aww… I thought you were going to restore it. I would have want in!
Oh man, it’d be an amazing home, if I could ever afford I’d love to believe me!
awesome photos, the photographer in me is going crazy with ideas for such a setting.
Cheers Kirk, it’s an awesome site – bit of a trip for you though 🙂 Tell you what though, if you ever head over here and the place is still standing, we’ll hit it up!
Hi James, just wondering where this was? I am looking for a location for a short film and this is exactly what the director has in mind. It would be great if you could let me know 🙂
Hi Nicola, it’s in Bramham, West Yorkshire. It’s an awesome site with so much character, just be wary of the unstable flooring in places – all the snow we’ve had probably hasn’t helped matters. If you do film there i’d love to see the end product when it’s done! 🙂
Thank you so much for getting back to me James. Unfortunately we are looking for locations in the Bournemouth area, nevertheless if I can ever get to Bramham it would be great to use it and I will let you know! 🙂
Did you ever find anything in the bournemouth area? I’m new to the area and urbexing but it’s so exciting I realy want to find somewhere.
