A little history:
Wikipedia says of Buckston Browne Farm: “Built in 1931 as a surgical research centre by the Royal College of Surgeons (RCS). In the 1980s, the farm caused controversy because of its use of vivisection techniques, and in August 1984 it was raided by anti-vivisection activists.†It’s been a wreck for some years, and there’s now a planning application to turn this into housing. Down House, Charles Darwin’s former home, is around the corner.
So I have been to this site a few times but never with my cam. Access is easy to the site but the car park is in use seven days a week and it has a neighbouring house.
A few photos:

Going to take a quick peek again soon as there is definitely more to see..
