Evening all, having a quiet one tonight and hanging around at home pretty bored so thought id fire up an old explore, got new stuff that needs doing but not in the mood for editing tonight.
so i visited the place a couple of times back in jan, first time round was my first social explore, met up with a chap from another forum, up until then had just been flying solo. Since been stripped out and work started a couple of months back. Was a nice morning exploring, the place is plenty buggered, but i don't mind buggered places, quite enjoy the challenge of getting a nice shot out of somewhere that looks like its had a bad day in bosnia. plenty of water damage, leaking like a sieve, at one point i realised my brand spanking new tokina was getting dripped on :shock: -seemed alright though. A few more floorboards upstairs wouldnt go a miss before you go tap dancing down the hallway, god knows what it would cost to put this place right but they wont be doing it with the change from last nights takeaway. second time i went i was on my billy no mates, used to take lots of slow shutter shadowy selfies when i was going out and about on my own, don't do it so much now when im out and about with accomplices as i used to spend bloody ages taking one shot and noone likes a dawdler

bit of history.
Malvernbury
The original house was Dr Johnson's water cure establishment. Dr Edward Johnson (1801 - 1867), who had moved from London, where his children were born, ran a water cure establishment first at Ellerslie (see below) and later at Malvernbury, and his son Walter took over on his father's death.
An 1887 edition of the BMJ lists doctors registered in Worcestershire and confirms indeed that a Dr W Johnson was at Malvernbury in Great Malvern.
Dr Walter Johnson married in 1867, South Tidworth Hampshire, Mary Ann Sophia Young the daughter of the Rector of Risley in Bedfordshire by whom he had four children.
The 1881 census records the couple living at 'Bury' House in Abbey Road which was almost certainly Malvernbury.
When Mary died in 1888, Walter Johnson retired to Kensington in London to live near his younger brother Horace Edward Johnson MD.
In 1907, Malvernbury was rebuilt, possibly for solicitor, William Dyson Perrins, grandson of the founder of the Worcestershire Sauce business - in 1911 his wife Kate Perrins and son Meredith Dyson Perrins were living there.
A plaque records that Florence Nightingale had been a visitor between 1857 and 1860.
Malvernbury later became a nursing home and has now been purchased by a developer. It is anticipated the house will be modernised and converted into apartments and other houses will be built in the grounds.
aaaaand some jazzy pics-
ta for lookin kids, take it sleazy
