Underwater Ballroom : Update Dec 22/2012

[UE-OMJ]

It's for this exact reason I wont visit Bull Manor - the owner lives/works on-site and doesnt want any of us there. So I respect that. As much as I would dearly love to see it, I wont.

Initially I hadnt realised this Ballroom was on an occupied site...

I dont think we can generalise with sites, but judge each one as it is discovered.

Also Krela, when I posted up a similar 'this place is now a no-go' thread a few days back you had this to say "We generally don't do public service announcements. If people want to do daft things and get arrested that's up to them to figure out. There are lots of listed buildings with CCTV, security and alarms posted on internet websites." So why the change of heart? I don't see any difference between an active, alarmed business premises and a lived in building. You can't have it both ways either both have got to be doable or neither. This is not me looking for an argument, I'm just interested.

Also let's not forget GT Manor is partially occupied as well and that is a private residence....

Because that request came from the police, not a person in distress making a personal request.

For the rest of your question see my last post.

Also I am aware of Bull Manor and GT Manor and made my feelings on them both very plain at the time the issues came up.

A large majority of the places we do have people livng aside it or in the vacinity , along a track, behind it, security, live in seccu....cctv...ect ect...the later at the owners request.. or with in eyes view...how we deal with it is up to us..

If we take anything from this it is to learn and always respect the owners wishes once bought to our attention..which after all...this is what this post is all about.

...of course, the other side to this, we all enjoyed the original post, and we all got to see such a stunning place via your eyes & lenses, and we almost explored it with you as you told your story in the report. Personally I still thank you for that otherwise I'd have never have see it.

As NK says, once the owner knows and makes a request to stop, we should all listen and do as we're asked.

A quick search online shows that its an occupied site, similar to Furhouse, GT, SOE Manor, Taliban School and a few others and let's face it, no owner likes the thought of somebody walking around their place and then telling others to go there.

Before the thread turns into everybody posting their views on exploring these sorts of sites, I'm going to close it.
