asylum

Whittingham Asylum, explored with H1971, very nice to meet you! Well... this place is massive, and a bit of a death trap to navigate in places with roofs missing, very rotten floors which are falling away, and lots of debris lying around. Despite all this however it does have a certain charm...

First visit in May with Ben, Beardy, Travis and Chard Remains for another great S.O’C.C. day out :D . We had a good mooch around, eye’d up the climb to the tower but sadly didn’t have the time to attempt it as the visit was cut short :) . We did however find the theatre...

Well hello! Just a cheeky little reportage here from a fab Asylum oop North. Built in 1852 and extended on various occasions, this wonderful example of Victorian architecture now stands silent and near stripped, ready for imminent conversion into modern apartments. It's had no less than 10...

This ones on my doorstep, spent many a summer playing manhunt in here as a kid! Not much left now, just the main building, tower and chapel inclusive, everywhere else is swarming with builders and secca and people living in the new housing estate and residential home... Gayness.. Main...

The last stop of my lastest England Tour was this Lovely Asylum. The plan of action was to camp by a nearby city but got disturbed by a passing motor who seemed a bit too interested in my motor, so decided to head up to the Asylum anyhow. Arriving in the early hours of the morning I thought it...

Good old Whitty, its been a long time coming for myself to visit this one. I had seen a lot of pics of this place, but it wasn't high on my list to do, just one of those derps you keep saying to yourself I'll do it next time or soon. On a recent road trip south it was suggested by a PeterC4...

Lier Mental Hospital, Norway Built 1921, 5 buildings closed 1985 the Interior was removed 2010. Demolition started Autumn 2013 and the Photos from july 2013, from just one of the buildings. The Hospital area still has several buildings in full use. r...

Good Old Denbigh, the history of this hospital has been done many a time, so won't bore you with that. Part of my recent road trip south, I headed here after failing miserably at another site. This being my second visit mainly because I realised once I got home from the last trip that I missed...

I’m not going to do a full history on this one just yet, Demolition is well under way with parts of the site completely demolished already. Briefly this old Abandoned Asylum somewhere in the UK was established in the very early 1800′s and closed in the early twentieth century. The...

With this being the main target for the day we did have backups that one after the other became failures. After setting of from Brapfud super early we arrived and after waiting about 20 mins we were in and making our way round the site. History: (stolen from session9) The 300-acre (1.2 km2)...

A very recent visit to this Welsh Asylum. The last time I was here was March 2010 and it has changed considerably since then. A lot of the floors have collapsed due to the water getting in and those that are left are pretty spongey. The level of decay is on a par with Whittingham in places...

I joined D4rk Ins1ght on his revisit to St George’s, making the trip up north with a 2am alarm for a nice early start (did I say nice there!?) good to meet you mate! The Northumberland County Pauper Lunatic Asylum opened on 16 March 1859. Situated in Cottingwood, the magnificent...

I previously visited this place around 3 weeks ago but being pushed for time we missed a lot of what St Georges had to offer. After talking to ZeroUE it was arranged that he came up north to grab some of what the NorthEast has to offer and this was the first on the list. So with the 4am alarm...

Rauceby Hospital, originally called Kesteven County Asylum, is a now-defunct mental institution in the parish of Quarrington, Lincolnshire. Building work was commenced in 1897, the facility was completed and opened in 1902. After changing hands and names several times the main hospital building...

Orchard House, Rauceby Hospital (Kesteven County Asylum) In 1953 Orchard House, which opened in 1939 as an admissions Unit, was in fact a separate hospital. In contrast to the custodial approach of the main hospital it was run as an open hospital. The patients were primarily referred from out...

St Mary’s Hospital, also known as the Gateshead Borough Asylum is unfortunately in a very sad state of affairs. Developers have been on site for some time now building a new housing development and many of the asylum buildings are now gone. What remains of St Mary’s today is as follows: the...

Following a overnight drive by Scattergun and collecting Mr Dystopia on route through torrential rain we arrived at the stunning Severalls Asylum. We had arranged to meet up with several other explorers inside. We had been warned that the infamous Michael was on duty site this day so knew we...

I've been to this place 3 times now, so these are a mixture from those visits. Parts I only discovered on my most recent visit and I had a new lens to play with, plus showing some UrbExing friends around who hadn't been here before (one of whom hadn't done an asylum) gave me the perfect excuse...

By the end of 1895, there was a desperate shortage of space for patients at the Cornwall Lunatic Asylum and large-scale extensions were being planned. On January 25, 1897, the Asylum Committee chose Cornish architect, Silvanus Trevail over four other applicants. The new building was to be for...
