Been away for a while, but the new year brought me back with a bang. been lurking in the urbex shadows, watching, waiting, until the right site came up again, and then it did...
I am aware that it has been done a lot recently, but after finding the location through clues given on a post on another forum which i wont name, but lets call it '14 Nights Earlier', i had to go and take a look at 'Stitchers cottage'.
I explored this one with a non-forum member, it was her first explore, and i dare say not her last. We crept through long, ice laden grass to the entrance, trying not to wake any of the surrounding neighbors. After a 2 hour drive and leg cramp, this was not easy.
Once inside it was still far to dark to shoot, so we wandered around waiting for the sunrise. I walked upstairs and straight away noticed a light on in one of the bedrooms! To say this unnerved me was an understatement. Had someone left it on by means of a trap, should i turn it off in case it drew attention to us? Then the thought hit me, what if this was not a derelict site, but some cruel joke? I crept to the crack between the door and the door frame, and looked through the crack, half expecting to see someone laying on the bed. Thankfully there was no-one there, but i still couldn't relax, as i wondered as to the reasons for the light being on.
This place is great, but i suspect it will be trashed or looted shortly, so i am glad to have seen it when i did.
Enjoy...
