Did you ever, or do you still own one of these annoying biscuit barrels?
Every time one goes to get a custard cream to dunk in the tea cup
" stay away from the cookie jar"
Fuck off!
Welcome to Thornseat Lodge, in rural Yorkshire, let's go mooch
Parking up
Negotiating a dry stone wall
Stumbling through trees
Bushes
and fucking brambles
I made it
Didn't know what to expect
Built in the mid 19th C, as a summer retreat and hunting lodge, by the Sheffield based steel magnate Jessop family, the William Jessop monogram built into the frontice, pretentiously for all to see. WJ entwined flanked by the rose of yaaaaarkshire.
A succession of owners eventually led to the building being owned by the council who operated it as a children's home until it finally closed its doors to them in 1990.
It certainly wasn't Mr. Cookie jar, but at every cardinal point around the building were his mates.
Sentinels,
Guardians of the Galaxy,
Keepers at the gates of Hell
Fitted with PIR sensors and I guess live cameras, everytime I got to within about 20ft
" you are trespassing and your images are being recorded, you are being monitored by remote mobile security, blah blah blah"
Fuck Off!
It really was a wreck inside, constantly monitoring where you are walking, and what is overhead
Thinking this place should be called " The home of hanging radiators"
"If one fails to prepare, one prepares to fail"
The building is not listed, there seems a lack of funds/willingness to do anything about renovation/ demolition by the current owners; Thornseat Lodge Ltd.
And so internal and external examination complete, I strolled and stumbled, tripped and slipped my way back to the car.
Just like the cookie jar, security here is all mouth and trousers.
Time for a custard cream.

Oh, really? Metal?

Haha, I didn't realise you had done Thornseat. The first time I visited I shit myself and ran from the loudspeakers. Second time.., just like you.. fuck off!.
There's a house next door, but the inhabitants don't seem to give a shit about the numerous visitors.
yeah saw the house
fuck them too!
