Milton House is one of the scariest places I've been in.
Disused since the 1960s with minimal attention since, some of the floors are very bad, but others lead you into deception by appearing quite sound.
Milton was built in the late 1830s as a replacement for the previous Milton House which was burnt down, possibly to stem the typhoid within.
I don't think it likes me, last time I visited it left me lying in a heap on the ground floor, cushioned on a pile rotten wood, nails, slates, stone and mortar.
This time I didn't expect to go inside, so my tripod was left in the car - the merciful Milton punished me only with slightly lousy photos at high ISO.
Away from the main oak curved staircase and entrance hall it is very bad.
Ancient bathroom fittings and gas lighting served to remind me how long this place has been abandoned. I shouldn't be walking on these wooden floors...

It really isn't that bad as long as you stick to the middle of the house. The roof has recently been replaced ahead of a full restoration, so it shouldn't get any worse.
