Missing a red dress manor - jan/april - 2015

[Merryprankster]

Morning, afternoon or good evening girls and boys, hope everyone is feeling funky fresh and enjoying the bank holiday, just a little report on the, now missing a red dress manor, previously known as, you guessed it, red dress manor aka calcot hall aka calculator hall, naah only pokin i made the last one up though i definitely think calculator hall would have been a loads better name for it.

Visited this place twice, wouldnt recommend driving any kind of distance to see it mind, definitely one of the derpiest derps in derp town, first time i was checking something else out in the area so stopped in for an hour or so, second time i popped in was on the way up to snowdonia for a kayaking/exploring weekend, was the same weekend i did vanity house (which has a report floating around somewhere) and a failed cloud house.

Not really all too much new to say about the place that hasn't been said, watch yourself in the front rooms where the floors are falling in would be the first and foremost! I think it was landie man pointed out the same as what i found, the place has had plenty of traffic, been through lots of set up shots etc, much like i pointed out on my vanity house report, fine setting up shots and getting a nice photo, guilty of it myself occasionally, chucked a couple of bits from off the floor on the dresser in this set, if somewhere is as trashed as this place i don't see any harm in tidying up a bit! Places like this and vanity house, you still get to see interesting bits and bobs and get a vague insight into the lives that lived in that house but you just don't get that same 'frozen in time' feeling from the place you know. Decay wise as i said downstairs front rooms the floors are buggered, not a lot to see in them but if you insist on going in them make sure you're on a joist. Got some good ol' peeley paint in the kitchen, peeley wallpaper in tuther rooms and plenty of water damage upstairs due to the gaping holes in the roof, one of the 1st floor bedroom floors is pretty buggered on the front of the house so again watch your ass. Windows are all smashed in on the front and as a result the plant from the little shop of horrors appears to be living in one of the bedrooms upstairs-ickle bugger nearly had my bloody porkie pie out! feed me seymore!!

right enough of all that frevolity, take a look for yourselves what it looks like at the minute, well- at the minute being a couple of months ago! - apologies for the awful quality pics, this was one of the first times out with my new nikon and i didn't smash it into raw so they are all crappy jpegs im afraid, except 3 i took on the return visit.

Red was never really my colour but boy do i look hot in those heels!! #dresstokill #nomakeup #girlsjustwannahavefun

thanks for taking a goosey gander kids. apologies again for the crap quality control

Stray off the path.
