Just to inform everyone, these photos are a few months old, the Manor house is not accessible anymore and the animal testing facilities are much harder to get in.

HISTORY -

Buckston Browne Farm, built in 1931 as a surgical research centre by the Royal College
of Surgeons (RCS). In the 1980s, the farm caused controversy because of its use ofvivisection
techniques, and in August 1984 it was raided by anti-vivisection activists.
It is now used as a storage facility for Downe house (the house of Charles Darwin).

THE EXPLORE -

Id been looking up this place for a while, and decided to check it out myself. We walked past the main gates and decided to head into the woods for a more concealed entrance. We found an old coal cellar in the woods, but it was almost entirely filled with rubble so we continued to the house. I have got to say this was one of the more disturbing explores because of the nature of the place. But it was great fun to walk about, with no hassle from anyone.

It is a shame we can't get in here anymore because id love to go back and explore the places we didn't have time for.
Anyway... here are the photos. No particular order!
