My first post!!
Popeley House was built around 1812 and (believe it or not from the pictures) had only been uninhabited for around 2 years when I took these earlier this year. The owner of the previous 40 years sold the house and its sizeable gardens to property developers. Planning permission has been granted for 19 houses on the site (from memory) but as of yet nothing seems to have been done with the place.
Since the house was vacated, it has been ransacked by scumbags probably from the estate across the road. It has been set alight several times, and by the time I got around to visiting it the staircase had been too badly damaged for my level of bravery to allow me to climb it. That and all of the damage caused by the fires explains the lack of interior shots (okay, I forgot my flash gun too...).
These are not the best photos I've taken but my other explores have all been well covered.

You can see the fire damage above the tall window here:
This was as far up the stairs as I was going:
