After a while of searching google, I was able to find the rough location of 'Potters' and found it pretty easily on google maps as it stood out like a sore thumb! I had a look, but couldn't seem to find an entrance, other than the dirt road leading to someone elses house, so I figured we'd work it out when we got there & bearing in mind this was my first proper explore, this was pretty daring :P
Overall, it took us about 2 hours to get down there & we parked up near another car, looked around and discovered the entrance pretty quickly, so started walking up there & found 5 other urbexers in the building, it really does seem that it's getting pretty popular!
Anyways, you probably all know a bit of the history of the building as it's been cover quite a lot in the past few months, but if you don't, rookinella did a brilliant report here, in which you can find all you need including some info on Muddy Fox's family link with the building! Very interesting stuff! (:
Bearing in mind we only spent 2 hours in the building, some of the shots aren't too good, it's huge! we could've easily spent another two in there, should've got up earlier :P
So here are the shots;
Oh look! another Urbexer, The two people said they were from the outskirts of London, I wonder if they're on here :P
The previous shot for those of you who don't like HDR (:
I love this staircase, shame that pikeys have recently stolen the staircase poles, it used to be a spectacular staircase.
A HDR of the previous shot
More of the staircase & the fire damaged landing, there seems to be a basement under there, we didnt go down there though, looked a bit dangerous.
The utility room
The windows in this place are amazing, they're so grand.
Liar.
Very dirty windows, I love the colours though
James Walford, the Owner of this beautiful building
A bit of modelling :P
The painting seems to be saying "My Armchair"
At least the toilet looks happy...
Some more of James Walford's work, it seems to have been trampled though...
Happy Birthday
The undying flower.
Leaving the building, someone seems to have put that dress in the window while we were in there :/
Sorry it's a bit long, I resized the images to 800 wide/high, uploaded them, then realised that they make the post huge!
Any comments are appreciated :]
