Wyrm, that's an amazing post-apoc looking building, complete with troll graffiti! Is that a swimming pool out the front?

Yes, it was apparently very popular for skateboarding - although the skaters often had to spend the first half hour clearing the latest junk out of it.

There were all kinds of rumours about the place - the silliest being that the daughter of the family drowned in the pond and her parents wasted away from grief - but apparently it was a riding school that went out of business in about 2002.

Thanks again on the congrats everyone :D

Well, this is one for all those people who are uncertain that buildings in SSSS could get that decrepit after "only" 90 years of neglect, when here you've shown some with only 15 years.

15 years in a warm, dry climate too, as opposed to one with lots of rain and snow! (and trolls)

Thanks everyone! I shall claim the old Caversham Airfield. It's actually derelict in the current day, although they're apparently going to redevelop it into housing some time soon.

I also made this as a badge for those of us who've claimed an airport. You may notice my seal wearing it on his cap :)



I like that badge!  And I can't remember if I congratulated you on your airport, so congratulations!

Thank you! I'll have to make up a naval one for when I get a ship.

I see that Sc0ut has pushed into the Ranger territory, despite only lurking lately.  Many (gentle) congratulations to Sc0ut!

Congratulations to Sc0ut! Our Ranger corps gets even better!

Ack, I'm a scout now - be sure to get someone else to doublecheck any area I've been the only one to report on! :P
