I have lived about 10 mins from this for 19 years and have never been in because of the fences etc but have always wanted to. About a month ago, I noticed a way in so recently went for it with my friend Jo (not a member)
I also have seen that there are some reports already ... but this is the most up to date I have seen (and it's my first ever so be nice
)
There have been six fires in all with the last one about a year ago as far as I know.
Anyway I took about 100 pictures so picked out 20+ of the good ones and the rest can be found here:

1. The outside of the house from the back
2.This was the great site that greeted us as we walked all the way to the bottom of the garden and turned around to go back into the house
3. This is one of the first things we saw inside the house and I have no idea what is is
4. One of first accessible rooms around the back/side where we found 2 filing cabinet things, and the key cupboard (no keys)
5. This is basically what most rooms look like now since the most recent fire
6. Again another rubble floor, with a whole wall missing and clearly no roof
7. This was laying outside - It looks liek it's been there a long time lol
8. One of the sets of outside steps from round the back
9. This was the horrifying sight that awaited us as we entered the back
10. So many floors melded into one
11. It is really sad to see what would have been a beautiful building so ... destroyed
12. One of the most burnt out rooms of them all (Upon another inspection I suspect the recent fire started here)
13. No floor
14. The creepy looking vets room with the weird cage type thing
15. Room zero one seven
16. More sad destruction
17. Only half the front door remains
18. The ground floor of the MAFF building (which is a seperate building to the house but looks like council flats :S)
19. Every room looked virtually the same
20. The upstairs landing (where its so obvious the amount of vandalism )
21. The upstairs corridor
22. The lift button - fairly modern
23. This is what the garages underneath now look like
24. This was one of the buildings in the grounds (I believe it was animal pens as there were cat flap style doors lying on the ground beside them)
And so these are my pictures. There are lots more on my photobucket so do check em out (link above).
All in all - not an entirely satisfying hunt but since it was my first I'm not complaining. As for security - it's definately a number 1 on the scale!!
