Report - Aldermaston Court / Manor - Berkshire - May 2021

[TrevBish]

Fantastic report by the way. Always loved this place. Now I'm quite worried it'll be absolutely destroyed.

I'm hoping Security will up their game. Even the police said the security have been shit recently.

I really hope you're right. This building is extremely beautiful and architecturally important because it was P. C. Hardwick's first country house design. I really hope security up their game. When I went in 2018, the lazy bastard was sleeping in the front security office. I don't want it to spontaneously catch fire, like The Grotto up the way did a few weeks ago.

Yeah I live local and walk around the grounds most weekends. They had security inside for many months but seem to of stopped that. I share the same fear if it self combusting as all the planning applications keep getting rejected....

When I'm not at uni, I do as well. I used to go around the grounds about twice a month and photograph the ancient woodland. I remember the security being inside. I went up to the house in 2019 after seeing movement in the library and saw security in there with a sandwich. He waved and I waved back. Different guy to 2018 though.

I used to see 3 security up there. Inside the house and a few cars parked outside. Also playing snooker. At least they were inside looking after it.

Hopefully the local vandals will stay away after reading your report lol

Pisses me off they've been off the ball lately. Really pisses me off. I hope the MOD Police patrols put thieves and twats off.

Is it worth maybe sticking this report in NP, so at the very least, as Wally said, the local vandals can't use this report? Might help preserve the place a little while longer?

Beautiful building. I’ve got it pinned might give it a miss

Can you walk around the grounds?

 

[Wally_urbex]

Can you walk around the grounds?

Yea u can

 

[TrevBish]

Can you walk around the grounds?

Only locals can.

 

[TrevBish]

It can go in NP but it's already on YouTube form last year and the last few weeks. Also social media. Hence why I just posted. Seems like everyman and his dog has visited before me. Youtubers have known about this a while. I was sort of hoping this report would kick security into gear!

 

[RXQueen]

Only locals can.

How’s that work? Bring a council tax bill? Lol

Hahah. That's a great response. Walk around with a dog. They will ask you. Tell them you live local. Job done.
