Inside creepy time warp mansion filled with pianos and decaying books which has been abandoned for decades
THIS creepy time warp mansion is filled with pianos and decaying books, abandoned for decades, and now discovered by an urban explorer.
The pictures show music sheets still on the piano and a blackboard from the last lesson in the derelict 18th-century mansion, which was once used as a church and a school.
Kyle, who goes by the Instagram handle @kyle_urbex, has explored 450 sites across the UK after getting into the hobby in June 2020 as an escape from his full-time job at a warehouse in Leeds.
Since walking along the abandoned halls of the old St Margaret's Maternity Hospital in Leeds for his first trip, he has explored countless buildings and structures, including discovering a human zoo in a park in Paris during a solo trip in September 2020.
The 25-year-old makes the trips three to four times a week, gaining access to buildings using pre-existing entrances such as broken down doors and smashed windows, and often goes with his girlfriend and fellow enthusiast, Laura.
Having previously gone through the old Derby Hippodrome, the history lover turned his attention to the Assembly of God Church House in Derbyshire.
The building was last recorded in use as a school in 2001.

He said: "Upon entering St Margarets, I was taken aback by how much history was inside the building and how it was left to rot and decay, and be forgotten about.
"From there, I started researching more places and most of the time it isn't just about going inside the building, it's more about researching the history behind the building which is completely fascinating.
"I'll do my research beforehand, I'll pick an area that I want to go to and, if I only have two or three locations in the area, I'll research them on Google.
"I will go on Google, and say I am going to Derby, I will type in 'Derby eyesore building' or 'derelict Derby building' and see what results come up.
Kyle collected a range of stunning photographs showing relics untouched for decades, with grand old pianos still displayed with their music notes and chairs strewn across floors.
It comes as another derelict three-storey suburban home was discovered after hiding an eerie story behind its doors for decades.
The semi-detached house in Penarth, Wales, was been frozen in time - with the previous owner's shoes still in the cupboards and the kettle still plugged in.
Battered by the elements, most of the property's facade had fallen off after years of neglect.
All the windows are rotten - and some don't even have glass in them.
And the inside paints a more detailed picture of the previous owner's past - with all of their belongings still inside.
