Bramham House, Children's Home, Leeds. Derelict Places.

This amazing find, secretly hidden in a small wooded area in Bramham, Leeds. Built in 1806 first as a vicarage, it became a children home for abandoned, unwanted and orphaned children, bought out by the Red Riding Council in 1947 and was later abandoned in the 1980's, where the children and staff moved to a different home that is now been demolished.  This gorgeous place just shows the neglect of some of the most amazing places over the country. And some horrid person has even removed the banister. It still contained its original wall paper, fire places and doors. We also came across a row of tiny sinks that would of been for the children's use.  Unlike St Luke's, this place and a positive vibe. I felt welcomed there and very comfortable. These are defiantly my favourite images from what i have photographed (including in earlier post). There is so much character and charm about this building, I wish i could find more information. I guess i will find that in Wakefield archives. Simply Stunning.
