Visited with a pair of non-members with a bit of a last-minute (11pm the previous night) planning.
When people think of derelict care homes they tend to automatically think of dreary, soul-crushing 1970s buildings people go to to die in but Malvernbury is something a little different. The building is architecturally fantastic, the windows letting in a huge amount of light and the views are spectacular from the top floor. Plus you can't shake that nagging feeling that all the residents and staff have just popped out on a day trip to the seaside, there is a seriously eerie 'Mary Celeste' feeling to the place made even more weird by the fact one of the old phones in the home actually rang during our visit! I was convinced it was one of my mates mobiles but no, one of the old twiddly dial phones rang until it rung off, in hindsight we should've picked up the phone and seen who it was.
This is a fantastic place, one of my favourites from this whole year. And I can tell as I'm writing this I'm going to struggle to select a sensible amount of photos (oh how I wish I'd had a wide angle)...
This painting hanging in the dining room seriously weirded me out, why have a painting of a crying child in a nursing home!?
Thanks for looking, more photos can be found here
