Looking through some old sets and thought I'd post one seeing as it's quiet.

Visited in Feb '11 with monsieur Bob.

Thornseat Lodge was built in 1855 for William Jessop, Steelmaker. Became a childrens home in the 30s until it's closure in the early 80s.
Since then it has slowly fallen to bits, with the only visitors being explorers, thieves and ghost hunters (apparently it's been on the telly n stuff due to the ghoulies)

Place is a deathtrap.

me neither. This place looks so good but then its sooo fucked up inside, although I do like the washing machine retro faded colours. Good pics though boss.
