The Holme Nursing Holme, Holme chapel (Nr Burnley) Oct 09

[judderman62]

This was my final port of call today. It was previously a manor house but more latterly a nursing home.

It is in very bad shape indeed, little more than a ruin, and has twice been the target of arson attacks.

here is some history on it : http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~madgenealogist/WhitakerFamily.html

the floor was in pretty bad shape in post parts of upstairs - wet in parts, rotten in some and plain not there in others.

all things considered this was quite a nice little explore ... even if, as I was leaving, a small piece of ceiling fell to the ground :w00t:panic
