Well me and Bunkerkid was in the area doing a bit of "Look & Find UE" when the Satnav flashed up Castor ROC nearby:thumb

Now BK said that he did not want to do this due to the well documented hanging of a farmer in the shaft some years ago:ohmy

But being a bit of a ghost hunter the temptation was to much.
Easy enough to find due to the 'Scaffold' aircraft post nearby and the footpath running alongside the compound.

Being a 68, closure I was not expecting to much from previous reports.

The compound is heavily overgrown and although the sun was out! Gloom quickly took over as we entered the wood.
A massive branch has grown across the open hatch, sealing its fate forever.

With BK's favourite hate of spiders I was the first to get rid of them and then I descended the shaft.

With the thought of a hanging farmer alongside me in the shaft did not make me feel any happier. This place is spooky:eek:

A few things remain a single bed old paint pots and the vent louvres and the wall tables. A small fire must have burned down here at some time charring the tiles on the walls.
Pics were taken and a quick exit was made:thumb
Noises and a grouse making its usual sound scarred the crap out of me and BK and we exited fast.

A Sad Post indeed due to the Spectre of the Hanged farmer:(

Deep in the dead wooded compound the hatch lays open!

Rear vent shaft buried in the wood.
The FSM pipe has been sawn off at ground level:confused:
