In 1985 a wealthy crook set about building a vast mansion in East Sussex nestled between his so called ‘moronic peasant’ neighbours.
Project display of wealth failed miserably. The £40million shell of a palace has sat empty for years encased in a rusted coat of rental scaffolding and patrolled by on site contracted goons.
However, on this explore the goons were the key to our success. In a nutshell, the palace was completely secured so there was no legit entry point. We had too much invested in this explore and we couldn’t go home empty handed, we needed a plan B. Armed with M&S chicken & bacon sandwiches and in sight of Hoogstratens pre-empted mausoleum we decided on a risky but last ditch attempt to infiltrate the palace. In a nutshell, one of us deliberately caused a scene close to the portagoon which encouraged them to search the inside of the ‘palace’ whilst unknowingly
Inviting us in.
The interior was bare to say the least. A lift was clearly the most important feature of the palace so was installed before the walls were plastered. The basement was home to a plethora of personal effects including a stranded security buggy that is larger than its escape route.
The history of the palace is well documented so I will not include.
