Took tank2020 junior and senior for a day out, thought about the beach, ice cream and fish and chips, but decided on the local vivisection farm instead.
A quite strange and creepy place, with little hints of the horrific actions once played out at this place
From Wikipedia.
Sir George Buckston Browne FRCS (1850-1945) was a British medical doctor and pioneer urologist.
In 1927 he bought Charles Darwin's former home Down House and founded the Buckston Brown Research Farm in Downe in 1931. The Buckston Browne Prize is named for him.
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.” It’s been a wreck for some years, and there’s now a planning application to turn this into housing. Down House, Charles Darwin’s former home, is around the corner.
They are said to have kept all kinds of animals here, including pigs, monkeys and even chimps.
God only knows what video nasties were shown on this projector.
Pig Pens
Cells for cages
Pretty one to finish with.
Hope you enjoyed. t2020
