Wow! A mint and actually interesting location right on my doorstep, I never knew this was here until I spotted the signs on the main road had been removed, I decided to look on google maps and it looked very much abandoned, I was right....
History -
Closed down in 2007 due to struggling to keep Business going with the bigger and better garden centre across the road, where it’s so far from any type of life I really don’t think it will ever be used again or even redeveloped.
The Explore - After being certain it was abandoned looking at google maps I had a nice morning walk to check it out, after getting to the main gates I was 100% sure I was in luck, and I was! The place is mint with not a single bit of vandalism, it’s all natural decay with the main house and the little house being mint and no sign of anyone being there for many years, the actual garden centre was something else with plants and other clutter that was never sold, it literally is one of those situations where the owners just upped and left. Nice to see something new in my area for once !
