Urban Exploration

The home of Mr Bean counter.

It has been awhile since I got my sorry arse into an abandoned property, I kinda fell out of love with the whole UK scene. There has been a big increase in useless eaters doing it, examples of piss taking, criminal damage and thieving. But sometimes ya gotta think "fuck it" and get back out there.

So.... we are going in here, yes beneath the undergrowth is a house!!

This is what it looked like when someone cut the grass and controlled the vegetation.

.....and I guess this lot are as much use as an ethics degree is to a politician

Where rooms were accessible they were accessed, that wasn't many

As for some reason big piles of belongings had been shoved into the door ways, making it impossible to go anywhere, I wasn't going to climb over big piles of shite to see what was on the other side, before climbing back over said pile of shite.

When innocence ruled and parents didn't shove an ipad into their kids hands, times when good parenting meant interaction at all levels, nurturing and teaching, not relying on some fucking AI driven bot.

Space attack, a game for kids from the early 1980's,

First seen in the early 1930's a card based crossword game, still going strong through many incarnations today.

The good old PPI scam, and that is just the companys that set up to win you compo, taking most of it for themselves.

One of the funniest programmes ever made, classic lines like "Dave, is your dog still gay"

There were a hell of a shed load of accountancy files, documents mostly from the mid 1990'2 backwards, and tax text books scattered around and in filing cabinets, I got the feeling that i was in the home of the bean counter. though a search through companies house didn't shed any light on the company

A council tax demand from 2009, £1,214, in 2025 this has now risen to £2,485. a lot of which will no doubt be be wasted on pointless schemes, councillors expenses, and fancy dan ivory towers.

Upstairs wasn't much better another unclimbed mountain of human detritus

So I came back downstairs and left

If I had seen this house, I would never enter it. It is scary, and I am afraid to go alone.

The Royle family was sheer class! What a shame that would have looked a cracking house before it was abandoned. I wonder why the piles of shite in the doorways though.

Oh I've missed a good urbex from you guys! Congratulations for getting out there again- or in there as the case was...😃

I sometimes look at your friend Mr. Slobber Chops' posts and just shake my head! Have you never had a serious accident going into those abandoned buildings? Or caught for trespassing? You urban explorers are brave! I, however, find it so sad to think these once were vibrant households, offices, clinics, or other - places filled with people, living life! And they're now permanently silent! Hopefully not infinitely, and they are rebuilt some time or other! On another note, I've always found cemeteries fascinating; perhaps my vivid imagination that wanders to who they were, what they did, and whether life was kind to them. Weird what fascinates us human beings! Hope you're having a good Sunday @grindle🤗

I got goose bumps.... and the chair in the corner of that room. 😳

By the way, isn't that armchair in the first photos one of those massage chairs?

You certainly have guts...those doorways! The baby's picture, and the tax notices. How quickly things can just fall apart

Fabulous, it's on tomorrows hit list. Expect my (colour) version sometime in 2027.
