Buckston Browne animal research centre- May 2011

[Yidio]

Hi ladies and gents

i've been meaning to put this up for a while, it was a amazing explore with a very creepy feel to it.
Visited with few non forum explorers.
Im sure you've all seen it before but here is abit of history (stolen from wiki)

Buckston Browne Farm, built in 1931 as a surgical research centre by the Royal College of Surgeons (RCS). In the 1980s, the farm caused controversy because of its use of vivisection techniques, and in August 1984 it was raided by anti-vivisection activists.

And a small description of whats there

The buildings on the site consist of a two and half-storey farmhouse which dates
from 1933 and various single-storey laboratory buildings and outbuildings which were added
between 1933 and the 1960s. The farmhouse is locally listed and it was built for the Royal College
of Surgeons as a residential teaching and research centre. Both the farmhouse and the laboratory
buildings are derelict and have not been occupied since 1989.

so on with the pics

Thanks for looking.

I know I really shouldn't go digging up old threads, but I thought some of you might like to know that this place is currently being stripped out.

I did a drive-by recce yesterday and it was surrounded by hoardings, all of the windows had been removed and there was an occupied mobile home on site.

Basically, if you're thinking of visiting, don't bother, you've missed the boat I'm afraid.
