Abandoned Pottery, Lancashire.

I wanted a quick look at this since I saw some other photos on an Urbex site. Unfortunately on this trip I got busted. I asked a farmer if the building I could see from the road was an old pottery. He said it was and also told me how to get to it. He said an old lady owned it, but she seldom left her house these days. Having done so, he then wandered off to phone the real owner. What a nice man. Note to self: do NOT go urbexing in a sign written van with my name and phone number up the sides! I was in there for around 40 minutes before a very upset owner called my mobile. He asked me to leave as he was fed up with having to drag photographers and thieves out of the building all the time. The building is dangerous and he is afraid of being sued when someone gets hurt whilst trespassing. Seemed like a nice chap, and I'm sorry to have contributed to his stress. I wouldn't encourage others to visit. Anyway, here are a few of the pics...

Pottery lurking in the trees by the roadside.

Mmm. Tasty.

The attic. Very creaky.

Galebrook House, Bolton

I broke my own rules on this visit. Firstly, don't go into dangerous old buildings alone. Secondly, don't reveal the location. First one was stupid, second one doesn't really matter, the house was pulled down a week after I took the photos. So by all means visit the approach road to Dunscar Golf Club in Bolton. It is very nice, but the house is no longer there.

This house was built in 1885 for Thomas Slater a local businessman who owned owned the Dunscar Bleaching Co, down in the nearby valley. The earth mound with trees, down the lane from the house was built and planted by Mr Slater, so that his hideous satanic mill didn't spoil the views from his drawing room!

Galebrook was last used as a care home. The building was littered with the tools of the trade.

Rotten as a pair since the lead thieves had been in.

A room with a view.

Trying not to disappear through the floor. Lots of which was missing.

You can spray that again.

Death's waiting room. Waiting to die.

Mr Slater's mound!
