What a wonderful byproduct of an Urbex report!

This shows why it is so important to document abandoned buildings. If this had been demolished and a new building erected on the site without being documented like this, so many of these former residents would probably never found out what had happened to their former friends.

Thank you for taking the time to post Derelicte.

Internet advice that a recent sign shows European Institute of Human Sciences as being the new owners. I have Googled and found that EIHS is an Islamic institute with various facilities around the world, including one in Wales, UK.
If they do own it, hopefully they will start repairing the roof and stopping the water from getting into our beautiful old building.

What a great photo…and so clear. the air raid shelters must have been built for World War 2.

Hi! All,
Since posting this last word, I have become a scriptwriter. And am currently scripting a bio film on Whimsical Walker.
He rose from an apprenticeship with Pablo Fanque to being summoned by Queen Victoria for her first Royal Command Performance. His life was so full of adventures, it reads like a boy’s own story.

All the best to all of you. Both Silverlanders, and none Silverlanders.

In preparing for a 90th birthday party for my father, we searched through our grandparents photo albums, and found a photo of Silverlands, taken by an ancestor in early 1900′s. My grandparents immigrated to Canada pre WW 1, and we think this photo was taken circa 1914. http://www.flickr.com/photos/18927960@N02/5407236084/

Thought it might be interesting for others to see an exterior photo of this beautiful property
