Found a pretty cool photo location today..

[Guy]

went out to do some video footage of my mates recently rebuilt astra gsi, and when he was turning round to drive back past he found this old strange building.. never noticed it there before.

so started snapping away.. then realised it actually had a modern tv aerial on the roof? and wheelie bins outside? looks like we were messing around in someones garden.. LOL! must be a tiny scary home to live in!

some piccies:

then moved on to an old favourite of mine - Thornton Abbey, first time ive properly walked around it in the day time. felt like some old tourist.

thats all folks

Thornton Abbey

Thornton Abbey - The imposing red brick Gatehouse dominates the entrance Colonised from Kirkham Priory in North Yorkshire, the Augustinian house at Thornton was founded in 1139 by William le Gros. Less than 10 years later it was raised to the status of an abbey, and in 1518 became a mitred abbey. Thornton Abbey's remains can be found today at the end of a quiet lane, but instead of being secluded among the lush Lincolnshire countryside they stand against a backdrop of 20th century industrial plant scattered along the banks of the River Humber.

But the visitor cannot fail to be impressed with the massive brick-built gatehouse as it looms into sight like some sturdy, military fortress guarding the entrance to the abbey site. This imposing monastic gatehouse, built at the end of the 14th century, is an extraordinary structure that remains virtually intact. Between the four tall turrets above the central vaulted archway, the façade is covered with canopies and niches that once held statues of saints but the crenellated parapets were adorned with soldiers, tradesmen and scientists. The upper floors of the gatehouse were thought to have been occupied by the abbots of Thornton Abbey, and several fireplaces and garderobes can be seen throughout the building. The large first floor room now houses a collection of stonework carvings discovered on site during an excavation of the abbey.

Nothing has survived of the first abbey church, and of the 13th/14th century rebuilding only the foundation plan is now visible with the exception of the south transept. One wall stands to almost full height and there are fragments of a chapel, but adjoining this wall are the beautiful remains of the 13th century octagonal chapter house. Two complete sides of the building survive to show some magnificent blank arcading and geometrical tracery. All other monastic buildings have either disappeared, or consist of little more than low masonry indicating their existence.

That astra looks stunning...nearly bought a GSi before I got the valver. And your car looks lovely as always Guy. Some great pics there

 

[Guy]

griif - its quite a cool place to look around.


that 'tunnel' bit used to be the bridge over a big moat (its just a ditch now)

and you can see on the edge where its just 'broke'

theres also another section of it across the field behind it.
can still see bits of the original wooden gates.


and its pretty scary going there at night!
