Hi all,
I came across this disused derelict farm/stables when out walking on Rushcliffe Country Park near Ruddington in Nottingham. There were no signs of the farms original name and i have not been able to find anything regarding history either so anyone with any info please post it here!!
I have named the farm 'Domino' as there were thousands of dominoes strewn accross the floor in most rooms. I eventually found a room full of boxes of them from China so i assume that the previous owner either loved dominoes or was using the stables for storage...possibly illegal importing etc???
Anyway, i took some pics so here they are.
