I'd been wanting to visit this place for ages, I went with two 28DL members; sentinel, and juicerail, the last of whom was actually born in there. With it being within such close proximity of military bases etc there is a lot of security, gurkhas and dog handlers patrol the grounds 24 hours a...
Time to jump on the tourist bus and we decided to organise a road trip with a load of mates including atomic, zyge, magpie tommy, spark and sbmkIII, for some it was the 1st time we had met for most it was exactly 1 year to the day since our 1st escape from Norfolk road trip. Part of my reasoning...
I went to visit my mate who lives in nowheresville, Lincolnshire, and on the way stopped to visit a couple of sites. Our primary target was sadly not accessible, so made a slight detour to look at Ferdowse clinic and Nocton hall military hospital.
I have visited Nocton before, and although we...
Gabe got on the case and asked if I was free in Norwich in a few weeks, so a few weeks later he arrived and we decided to go have a little scout about and see what was happening.
Checked a few drains, but they were all rusted shut, checked a bunker, that was sealed tight, so that only left the...
[CENTER]St. Lawrence's Asylum (Cornwall County Asylum), Bodmin, Cornwall
Seffy and END-PROC.
Some history for you, seeing as this place has only recently cropped back up:
After this place had been described to me a while ago, I did some searching online, and instantly wanted it. To be honest...
Thought I would stick another report up :)
Day trip to Father Hudsons Society, Coleshill. Also visited some of the other buildings on site, including St Gerrards, but St Edwards boys home / orphanage was my favourite. Spent a couple of hours looking round its dark atmospheric corridors and...
First report on here!
First full proper road test of the new camera, so please be patient whilst I go through some new learning curves!
After an early start (well, for me anyway!), had a full day’s explore here. And we needed it – its huuuge. I can see how you can get lost here...
After a few failed attempts over the past year. I saw online that it was becoming popular again, so I thought I would give it a try again. This time with no problems. Spent 7 hours inside here. Didn't see anyone else. We saw fresh footprints on the floor that didn't match any of our footwear...
Hello again,
Thought I'd have a final mooch of the year. Saw a few shots of this place that I thought were fit, so planned a semi roadtrip. Visited with TBM as Cloaked Up was much too engrossed in working for a shilling :-)
The Northumberland County Pauper Lunatic Asylum designed by architect...
Visited with a non OS forum member as part of an organised meet on another well known UE forum. Met a few other small groups on the way round and the local kids that use the place for hanging out and skating were ever present in the grounds.
Not being the most agile person these days I managed...
This now closed hospital in North Wales was formerly a workhouse that opened in 1839 and housed both males and females. Biding by Victorian values both cohorts of people were segregated in separate wings. The building was laid out in the form of a cross – there’s a tip for future explorers –...
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...

History
Founded in the reign of King George I, the Royal Hospital Haslar in Gosport, Hampshire, was one of several hospitals serving the Portsmouth area, but had previously been the country's foremost - and ultimately last - military hospital. Its...
The pair of ex-Gurkha security guards rounded the corner of the building and spotted our party within milliseconds.
"Intruders! Code Red, boss! CODE RED!"
The voice shouting into the walkie-talkie had an amusing mixture of professional urgency and childish excitement.
We had entered the...
High Royd's was a former psychiatric hospital which was opened on the 8th of October 1888 as the West Riding Pauper Lunatics Asylum, and designed by the then revered architect J. Vickers Edwards.
It was designed on the broad arrow plan. The Victorians liked all things symmetrical :wink...
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...
A little history on the abandoned Rossendale Hospital… Rossendale hospital started out as a work house for the poor named Haslingden Work House. I’m not certain when exactly it was build, however there is an old photograph supposedly from 1905 and an illustration of the building...
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...
Ashworth Hospital is a high security psychiatric hospital at Maghull in the Metropolitan Borough of Sefton in Merseyside, England.
