Woollen Mill in North Tawton, Devon. Been posted in the past but nice to see updates. It has been tidied up and site cleared to make way for building works. They have knocked down the site nearest the Gregory Distribution yard and now started building houses. Soon to build more houses and...

Just outside Launceston hidden from google view is an abandoned house. Newspapers and comics from the 80’s. Due to the old nature of belongings and books signed/gifted in 1892 and 1912 being abandoned from 80’s sounds right. The owners themselves would of been into 80/90’s old themselves. A lot...

Sorry no history on this. The bungalow has been cleared of any paperwork. Some family photos but no dates. There was a newspaper from 2002. A neighbour said the person now associated with the place is in prison, wether true or not I don’t know.

Headlands Hotel @ Port Gaverne, Port Issac. Closed 2010. After 22 years the owners decided to retire and sell up. Even when it was open it was a very outdated hotel. Approx 2013 an application was submitted to knock down and build new hotel. As with all these types applications they seem to...

I visited in October 2018 but only now been able to post. While looking around I bumped into the police as I was coming out. They where nice and let me finish looking around. The tunnels are regularly used by drug users so the police walk through most of the time. 3 main areas to this site...

I visited in September 2018 and never got round to uploading these pictures. It has been posted since then by others. Each time more damaged. I think most the tankards have gone as well. Small cottage. Just a two up two down. A Rover car buried outside under brambles. Large garage with another...

Safari House, also known as Artists House and Glitterball House. Hard to find, hidden off an old road, impassable by car and invisible to Google’s aerial view. I have never seen so many squirrels. There must of been 20 just on each tree. All looking at me, squealing like the sound of a dog...

Aalen House in Okehampton, Devon. It was a residential home, privately owned. From what I found online catered for 32 people. Found some info in the Okehampton Times newspaper in 2008 saying they will be investing £7million to redevelop the nursing home by PSP Healthcare who owns the building...

Injustice House in Whitstone, Cornwall. It is basically a garage/outbuilding which the old man lived in. He lived a simple life, there is no electricity here and went toilet outside. No kitchen. He lived here for many years into his 90’s. He still owns the building. He is now 103 years old and...

A super great house this one. Lots of rooms, lots of staircases, a surprise around every corner. Huge cellar and lots of bats. I tried to find some extra history on this one but couldn’t, a post from one year ago says it was owned by a Lord and has been unoccupied since 2006 when house went...

Don’t have any history on this one I’m afraid. Went before and was boarded up, came again recently as going past and could get access. It was an old school house, not very big. It had two entrances at each end of the building which would of been separate entrances for boys and girls. Outside...

Leigham Tunnel also known as Cann tunnel was an old tramway tunnel built early 1820’s. It is 620 yards long and pretty straight. In WW2 it would of been used as an air raid shelter to hold 3000 people. I didn’t get a great picture but at half way point was a couple of small rooms that would of...

Seaton Heights Hotel in Seaton, Devon. It’s had planning from September 2013 to turn into houses. Obviously not much has gone on in 5 years. Plenty more graffiti and smashed glass and much more overgrown. There is a post on this site from 2014 which said reason being delayed was because of bats...

This location has been posted before. Also known as Bastard Church/Chapel because of a family surname bastard buried here. But forgot to take picture of those gravestones. Been closed for some time as you can see. Not much to be found history wise either. There are two buildings. The main...
