And then this:
Fire at Oak Villa Nursing home Leeds
A large blaze is been fought by 30 fire-fighters at Oak Villa Nursing home Leeds.
Some residents are reporting that squatters may have been living in the building at the time, a large cordon has tonight been erected around the scene.
Fire service reports an initial search of the building has proved negative and the incident has now been downgraded to no persons involved.
Phew...the place smells so bad of burning bearing in mind the fire was only 29th April this year. Lots of outside shots as i had seen a way in but didnt think it possible. The back door was covered in staling board but had a two foot gap at the bottom, obviously from later squatters, i eventually got in by crawling in, had to..And im glad I did....
Beautiful fresco everywhere...
Took this from under the gap i crawled through...Test shot of the interior.
And.........were in...I apologise for some of the shots, flash glare....
Old lift shaft. Was pitch black here so i hoped for the best with a lot of the shots...
This room was full of personal belongings. Loads of loads of Christmas decorations everywhere, and then there were the photos..
This must have been the day room as the photos we found were taken in this room in much happier times...
Looks open, but was tight shut..
Well it was a care home, was packets and packets of these..
Beautiful ceiling fresco work...
This is why we couldnt get upstairs, hardly no floors left
Took a chance on this one, was pitch black in this part of the building and relatively untouched by fire. So just shoved the camera in and took the photo...
This room was freaky. There was a armchair facing this tv. Obviously couldnt watch it as theres no power, but someone has placed it so....didnt last long in this room, total darkness and it stunk...
Hope you like them.....
