A woman recently visited an "abandoned street" in the UK, making a remarkable discovery at the site that locals want to be renovated. Leigh, known as Leigh Urbex on TikTok, recently shared her findings at Eldon Grove, located in the Vauxhall area of Liverpool.

Leigh stated that the street was once renowned for having some of the best housingin the country; however, the propertyshe explored is now in a state of disrepair. Eager to see what it looked like inside, the explorer recently visited the street and was astounded by what she discovered during her exploration.

From the outside, according to Leigh, it looked "amazing". The gardens are noticeably overgrown from the exterior, and the property appears to be in a sorry state.

Despite broken windows and graffiti-covered walls inside, she was taken aback when she reached the balcony. The views were stunning, and she couldn't believe how much she could see from the top floor.

Leigh exclaimed: "Look at that for a view." Even though the rooms are empty, the balcony is strewn with branches and the site lies in ruins, the views are quite breath-taking.

She added: "Isn't that fab?" Sometimes the most isolated buildings house some of the most incredible things, hidden away from sight.

After the video was posted, one viewer commented: "That looks amazing. I bet those houses have a few stories to tell."

Another added: "Wow, insane! So sad it got left." A third also replied: "Wow, these are amazing, aren't they?"

Meanwhile, a fourth also commented: "That looks insane, but you always get me howling when something scares you." Someone else also chimed in with: "I lived there when I was a baby."

For those unfamiliar with its history, Eldon Grove stood as a prime example of early 20th century Arts and Crafts design. Originally built as part of a workers' village, it was officially opened by the Countess of Derby in 1912.

The building later served as student accommodation. Given its architectural, cultural and historical significance, it was awarded grade II listed status decades ago.

Back in April, the ECHO reported that local residents have campaigned for years to see the site regenerated. Despite petitions, meetings and formal complaints, the building remains abandoned.

Whilst a community of urban explorers regularly investigate derelict structures, such activities aren't generally advised. Buildings in severe states of disrepair can present significant safety risks, making exploration potentially hazardous.

Furthermore, permission should always be sought before entering any property. Even abandoned buildings have legal owners.

Therefore, entering without authorisation could amount to criminal trespass. This is vital to bear in mind.
