Despite living less than a mile away for many years I unintentionally paid a visit today when I was messing around with my GPS and got lost (previously I've only used it at sea and wanted to see how bad it was under tree cover)The set of pictures at http://www.flickr.com/photos/phill_dvsn ... detail/all looked very familiar but I failed to locate anything resembling these (used on a myspace page with all the other photos)http://i142.photobucket.com/albums/r109 ... d.jpgWhere are these in relation to the other buildings?To my surprise I also noticed that a house (or maybe two?) at the extreme north west of the site, with the house number and street name painted on the fence are in good condition and appear occupied - didn't approach any closer as I preferred to keep out of camera shot.

That's brilliant - that place's reputation is obviously starting to spread - could 't halp hava a little laughIf you have a look on Google earth or Live Search Maps (Birds Eye) you should be able to get your bearings. Speaking of bearings, if an over-bearing individual displaying a degree of paranoia comes out of the occupied house, just tell him you won't set fire to the Gas supply and you're walking your dog which isn't trespassing ....
