The Latvian Consulate - January 2014

Back to a bit of urbex, visited with the legend that is The Judderman, no stunts required and a tad chilly with a jolly good frost first thing.

An ex consular building. abandoned for years currently stuck in property development hell as the locals shout "not in my backyard" to the site being developed into a 48-bedroomed rehab centre.

A nice little potter round a site that smacks of loads of money and a distinct lack of taste - or perhaps architecture and decor just moved on a lot since the 1980s??

I found the place a little....bland and bizarre in equal measures, I'm more of an industrial mooch kind of chap.

So on with the photos

 The pool needed a good clean, chlorine looked a bit low and the pool was long overdue a good shocking.

In fact it was fucking minging

Bits, we all like bits, personal effects, for that added bit of interest, the older the better - the older was lacking at this place.

    1. Thanks Mr B. - finally got to visit after a couple of false starts, it had fallen off my to do list to be honest, Mr Judderman brought it back to my attention.
