The home of Mr Bean counter.
It has been awhile since I got my sorry arse into an abandoned property, I kinda fell out of love with the whole UK scene. There has been a big increase in useless eaters doing it, examples of piss taking, criminal damage and thieving. But sometimes ya gotta think "fuck it" and get back out there.
So.... we are going in here, yes beneath the undergrowth is a house!!
This is what it looked like when someone cut the grass and controlled the vegetation.
.....and I guess this lot are as much use as an ethics degree is to a politician
Where rooms were accessible they were accessed, that wasn't many
As for some reason big piles of belongings had been shoved into the door ways, making it impossible to go anywhere, I wasn't going to climb over big piles of shite to see what was on the other side, before climbing back over said pile of shite.
When innocence ruled and parents didn't shove an ipad into their kids hands, times when good parenting meant interaction at all levels, nurturing and teaching, not relying on some fucking AI driven bot.
Space attack, a game for kids from the early 1980's,
First seen in the early 1930's a card based crossword game, still going strong through many incarnations today.
The good old PPI scam, and that is just the companys that set up to win you compo, taking most of it for themselves.
One of the funniest programmes ever made, classic lines like "Dave, is your dog still gay"
One single mono photograph lying casually on the floor
There were a hell of a shed load of accountancy files, documents mostly from the mid 1990'2 backwards, and tax text books scattered around and in filing cabinets, I got the feeling that i was in the home of the bean counter. though a search through companies house didn't shed any light on the company
A council tax demand from 2009, £1,214, in 2025 this has now risen to £2,485. a lot of which will no doubt be be wasted on pointless schemes, councillors expenses, and fancy dan ivory towers.
Upstairs wasn't much better another unclimbed mountain of human detritus
So I came back downstairs and left

Fabulous, it's on tomorrows hit list. Expect my (colour) version sometime in 2027.
have a good day, enjoy the wet weather LOL
Not a spot all day!
OOF!
A perfect blog to reflect the universal truth - Nothing is permanent.
Good point well made @sanjeevm , ashes to ashes dust to dust.
You certainly have guts...those doorways! The baby's picture, and the tax notices. How quickly things can just fall apart
Cheers @agmoore thanks for dropping in, I guess those of us that enjoy urbex, are a little weird? fearless? bonkers?, but hey the unknown is the fun.
Have a great weekend
Hi @grindle
Weird is my comfort zone :) and even bonkers. I'm not fearless though. Glad you guys go where I would never venture. Interesting to share virtually😄
Cheers, glad you enjoy
I got goose bumps.... and the chair in the corner of that room. 😳
By the way, isn't that armchair in the first photos one of those massage chairs?
Yes that kid, a typical 60's style pose, is he alive is he dead?
I did not sit on the chair to find out LOl, but it sure looked like a comfy lay zee boy.
I sometimes look at your friend Mr. Slobber Chops' posts and just shake my head! Have you never had a serious accident going into those abandoned buildings? Or caught for trespassing? You urban explorers are brave!
I, however, find it so sad to think these once were vibrant households, offices, clinics, or other - places filled with people, living life! And they're now permanently silent! Hopefully not infinitely, and they are rebuilt some time or other!
On another note, I've always found cemeteries fascinating; perhaps my vivid imagination that wanders to who they were, what they did, and whether life was kind to them.
Weird what fascinates us human beings!
Hope you're having a good Sunday @grindle🤗
Cheers @lizelle it is rather niche subject,I enjoy walking through the lives of others, trying mentally to put my self in their time imagine the good and bad times in their former abodes, I enjoy the history behind it all, trying to research a bit about the places and people who were there.
The only run in I have had really is back in 2021, when I was road tripping Estonia, an old abandoned village called Rabasaare, and I stumbled in to a full on military war game exercise, LOL they were more surprised than me!
Graveyards are brilliant, I get the same emotions as you, living their lives in my head.
Have a great week ahead.
Haha, stumbling on that was a find of a different kind!
It must be fascinating researching and exploring all these old abandoned places.
There's a large cemetery not far from where we live, and my Mom and I strolled through there many years ago. So, our suburb was 'whites only' back in the Apartheid days. Yet, we only saw the names of black South Africans and a memorial dedicated to black South African men who played a role in the Second World War; that history was hidden from us!
Unfortunately, these days, people get robbed when they go to cemeteries alone to pay their respects, so you simply stay away or go in a group!
Back to the living, enjoy the rest of your week @grindle 🤗
Gosh, that is bad visiting a graveyard and getting robbed, I have visited cemeteries, some of them quite remote, all over the world on my own and never even considered personal crime.
Oh I've missed a good urbex from you guys! Congratulations for getting out there again- or in there as the case was...😃
Cheers @chocolatescorpi yes it has been awhile LOl, thanks for dropping in
The Royle family was sheer class! What a shame that would have looked a cracking house before it was abandoned. I wonder why the piles of shite in the doorways though.
yeah loved that comedy series, proper humour none of this woke bollocks. yeah gorgeous house, no visible structural damage, and yes looked like they had driven a bulldozer in and pushed everything into the door ways, fucking weird!
haha a man after my own heart, got fucking out of order here in the uk!
yes indeed it has all this diversity nonsense a man has got a cock a woman has got a minge. Fuck all else to consider
Here in Scotland the so called government in their wisdom decided there were 26 fuking genders! This is what partly led to the Scottish women going to the Supreme Court who finally had common sense and agreed that yes you are born a man or a woman.
26? FFS! Another hair brained sturgeon idea, and how she got away without being charged as a thief beats me. Just to let you know how weird I am. I found her quite fuckable, but she probably has a cock, so didn't write her any love letters.
🤣 I read this over and over again, going what the fuck!
There is no corruption in politics remember!
and I don't need weed to get high and fancy Ms Sturgeon, she has that demanding look about her.
are you smoking at the moment???? lol
If I had seen this house, I would never enter it. It is scary, and I am afraid to go alone.
Cheers @luthis26 thanks for dropping in, that is part of the experience, the unknown behind the door. Adrenaline rush!! LOL
