I first spotted this place when I was doing lots of outdoor running. It was actually dusk when we ran past it and the building was lit up and eery. I decided to check it out in daylight and see if I could get closer to get some images.
I wasn't disappointed... we found a little hole in the fence and creeped through...
It had such a grand entrance, it's been like this for some time as you can see the plants are growing from the inside out now. I looked it up online for some background on this place, it was ruined originally by fire 10 years ago. Approximately 60% of the building was gutted within 12 hours, destroying the house and it's extravagant features and has pretty much been sat there since. It is up for sale for a cool £1million but is guessed to probably cost £5million to restore.
There is quite a bit of the history here http://www.overstoneschoolforgirls.co.uk/ and some pictures of before it was burnt down.
These are the shots I've put on my blog
Here are some more images pre-edit
