Visited here after a long day out with Lost sploring it was our final stop of the day, needless to say it wasn't my sploring buudy's favourite as he stumbled around waiting for me to hurry up and finish :lol:

Not much info on this 4 storey B-listed mansion house built in 1821 for Local Bishop. During its life It was converted into a hostel for female pupils attending the near-by Royal Academy. It is now boarded up and awaiting conversion into flats by a local contractor :(

Loads of writing on the walls in the basement!

The house is defo trashed and bashed but youve grabbed the good features that remain and theres some nice ornate bits. (y)

I couldnt help but smile thinking of Lost kickin his heels wanting to get on to the nexts splore.

We've all been there, horses for courses at the end of the day and makes for a good mix. :beer:

Thanks for the share :cool2:
