Not sure if this is in the right area of the forum, Mods feel free to move it:)

OK I had meant to get up early and go to BOCM at Selby, but the car needed petrol, I was skint and it was chucking it down, so to be honest I couldn’t be arsed!

So after a day of mooching around the house, I decided to see if some old greenhouses about half a mile away were worth looking at. Through some very damp fields I trudged and to be honest I was quite pleased with what I found

There are around 13 greenhouses and a brick building which would have provided heat to each house via a series of pipes. After a trawl through the internet I can find nothing to tell me the history, but judging by the dereliction the business has been closed for at least 8-9 years. I will definitely go back when the weather is better, as I reckon this place would be rather splendid on a summers evening.
