Thornseat Lodge, Strines. Sheffield - 19.06.08
Noticed a thread by Leary (good stuff mate  ) from 2006 so thought I'd check it out. Bit of history: Thornseat Lodge was originally built in 1855 as a shooting lodge for William Jessop steel maker. It became a children's home in the 1930's and remained as such until the early 1980's Since then it has become derelict. I was on my way from Sheffield to Leeds and decided to have a look (solo explore). There's not much about it on the net really. The place is in a terrible condition, the floors are a death trap, there is no way to get upstairs, Not much of a problem as most of the upper floors have fallen down to ground floor level!  Pictures:  Main gates   W J carved into the stonework. For William Jessop.  Swimming pool!  Laundry.   View out through hole in 1st floor and then out through a lay-light.  Kitchen door.  Open plan kitchen!  AGA!          Cheers  Cool place, go on have a look, you'll like it! ~
