Visited Minley Manor yesterday after seeing another report on it. Of course i chose the best day to go (on a snow day) but to be fair because of this, there was no one around especially it being next to a public footpath. My history tends to be pretty rubbish and i never go into much detail, it's just not really my area of forte to be honest!
History
As i've read elsewhere it was built in the 1900's, There are many stables with a house attached to the front right side, 1 large detached house and 2 small semi-detached houses at the back. All very stripped and collapsed and totally unsafe to go upstairs at all!
The explore
After walking around the whole perimeter of the building once in what seemed like 2 foot snow (but probably wasn't!) We lapped it again only to find we actually missed a small entry point in the fence that had previously been covered over and opened again. I slipped a few times as expected on icey plastic, was not amused. Scoped the semi-detached buildings first but could only look from the door frame as the whole floor/stairs had collapsed in both houses into the basement. Still very interesting.
Then moved onto looking at the stables where we shit ourselves as we kept hearing a loud banging that sounded like shot guns. Assuming it might be some kind of secca or homeless person, i decided after 10 minutes to brave it and follow the sound. Worked out it was just a bit of a plastic pannel slamming against the roof in the wind.. again, was not amused. We were there for around an hour, we'd explored everything it had to offer and also not wearing the appropriate footwear, my feet were soaked... we decided to end the sesh. All in all was very interesting and i imagine back in the day were very beautiful buildings
