Bee Hive Shack- April 2010 (Lots of Pix)

[fivefive]

This is an abandoned and derelict Bee Hive shack (so I'm told) in a field near Colerne, Wiltshire.
There are two buildings here- one of wooden construction, the other of brick.
I was first introduced to this site in 2003. There was no fire damage back then.
This place really used to give me the creeps. I felt like I was linked to it in a past life or something weird.
I took these pictures in April 2010 but didn't think I'd end up sharing them online.
I should go back soon and take some more.

It's part of a mostly demolished domestic site for RAF Colerne.

sometimes less is more

No offence intended but that is a lot of pics for a derelict shed

Are you sure? It's on the edge of a copse, in the middle of some fields.

I do like to be thorough. Nobody's asking you to look at them all

That's usually exactly where domestic sites are.

I have consulted my guide, who tells me that when first discovered, there were jars inside and four hive boxes outside.

That's a serious power supply for a bunch of bee hives

Police tape? Was there a bee rave?

I'm pretty sure it's never been a bee hive?

My guide is adamant that there was all sorts of bee keeping equipment in there which mysteriously disappeared a week later.

Oh bee-hive!

Well worth a mooch, although it looks well screwed and how kind of the police to warn you of the nettles, I enjoyed looking Thanks

 

[pablo73]

you need power to spin honey to extract it so its quite likely

 

[krela]

It may well have been used to keep bees at one point in time, but I'm stating, categorically, that the brick building was originally part of a domestic site for RAF Colerne, and the electrics and glazed M&E tile is contemporary with that period. The wooden shack is newer.

Buildings uses quite often change over time you know...

The wooden building appears to be constructed from RAF Type B Sectional Hutting panels.

I can see why you would be freaked by that place when you're a kid. Freaks me looking at your pics ! lol. great work.

Got to agree with Paul here, that's far too many pictures of a collapsed wooden shed frankly. Sorry but it has to be said.
