This was one of my very first explores, visited with Urban Witness.
The place is a proper derp and no doubt would have been a lovely home at one time.
This place is so much of an unsecure place that we parked the car on the driveway outside and walked through the gate !!
HISTORY
There is plenty of news on the web about the owner, just google

This house was abandoned in the early 90's by a Dr. (not sure if i can say his name) either way, he was a psychiatrist and doncaster royal infirmary.
He got into a bit of trouble hence why he abandoned such a lovely home, the story behind him leaving goes he assessed a mental woman who was arrested for threatening a girl with a knife, but he released the woman (something to do with the mental health act) in thinking she will do something wrong again so they can have her locked up for good.
Bad decision doc, the patient went on to stab an 11 year old girl to death in the frenchgate shopping center 2 days after release.
"During her admission she appealed against her detention to the Mental Health Review Tribunal, but her appeal was turned down. Despite this, on 14 April the responsible medical officerâ€â€a Dr. XXXXXâ€â€discharged her from her section of the Mental Health Act and she walked out of the hospital. Two days laterâ€â€on 16 April â€â€Carol Barratt went to the Frenchgate shopping centre and stabbed to death little Emma Brodie, an 11-year-old schoolgirl whose parents kept a nearby public house. The parents have not recovered from the shock and grief, and probably never will.
The fact finding committee's report also contains the extraordinary statement: "although her responsible medical officer realised her dangerousness he nevertheless decided to discharge her from Section. In doing so he expressed the hope that the police would then get involved which could allow for more long-term detention of Carol to be arranged"." In other words, he thought, "Let her out; she is bound to do something bad and then we can have her back inside again." It is incredible, but that, as it turned out, is exactly what happenedâ€â€with such terrible consequences for poor little Emma Brodie." - copied from a clipping by Sir Harold Walker.
