So some of you may have seen my original post in 2017 which included both interior and exterior shots and some comments about the onsite security.
In May I was contacted via email and threatened with legal action due to the content included in my report. Without going into too much detail, I was ‘strongly advised’ to remove specific content (images and text) so I immediately contacted 28DL moderators and asked for the full report to be taken down.
Although I’m not legally obliged to act upon the ‘request’ to remove content, I have done so as a gesture of goodwill and as a favour to the honest and respectable landowner...
Here is the modified original post:
n 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 security.
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.
