These are the sorry remains of the once grand Thornseat Lodge. Built in 1855 as a shooting lodge for a wealthy steel mill owner in Sheffield. In the 1930s the place was coverted into a school for boys before being abandoned in the early 1980s.

The lodge is on the brink of collapse and the upper floors are now also the ground floors. Out back are few depressing outbuildings and an empty swimming pool. The washers and other kitchen equipment are very cool as nature slowly takes them back.

Well worth a visit if you are out that way but be careful as the drop into the cellar is scary.
