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...
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...
Northern Trip Part 5 – Rossendale Hospital
So, continuing to try and cheer myself upI went on a long awaited Northern Tour with my close friend TBM. After replacing his rig he very kindly gave me his now not needed Sigma 10-20 lens.
Unfortunately we did not notice until the last...
Thought is was time to say bye to the old girl, I'd never actually got a chance to see her until now and it's going at a fairly fast rate.
Closed in 2010 it is now in the process of demolition. The old hospital began life, in part as Haslingden Workhouse, in the late 1860s and an infirmary was...
A little bit of history:
"In 1886 John North gifted £6,000 to open a convalescent home in memory of his daughter Ida. Chorley and Connon were the Architects, opened 10th May 1888. Robert Arthington financed a second hospital on adjacent site which opened May 1905, and took his name but was...
Ok, not exactly a secret that the old place is being demolished, so after a single visit last year and a fail this Summer, thought I better saddle up and have a look round before its all rubble.
Visited with True British Metal and belatedly Cloaked Up.
You all know the history of this place...

We thought we would pop over here for a quick re visit as we had heard rumors that the slab had gone. We ended up spending 6 hours having the best giggle ever, SK dressing up, blind secca and me falling off a 8ft fence, epic times!
Splored with Skeleton Key
Alas, slab is gone, as is the...
After spending a very pleasant night camped in a Female Isolation Ward in a well known Asylum, 2 sane and 2 mentalist explorers got up in the middle of the morning to have wee adventure to the Military Hospital.
Jumping in a Mentalists motor and taking in a McDs breakfast, driving insanely fast...

I found myself in Bristol for work this week so one evening I decided to leave my hotel and go for a quick walk around this place.
Despite the workmen still on site doing something to the front building and the lurkers in one part of the building banging about it was pretty mellow.
Plenty of...

Orchard House, Rauceby Hospital (Kesteven County Asylum)

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...

Whilst waiting for Goggleman to finish his sacrificing magpie rituals to keep up with his...
Whilst away in Budapest myself and Host checked out this awesome Asylum/Psych Hospital, it's a huge site with a modern hospital in full use, however in the same extensive grounds remains a selection of fantastic looking grand buildings of the old hospital complex.
I had only ever seen a small...
At the time of my visit it was quite clear that the demo team had been there in full force, with 90% of the former hospital being reduced to nothing. What remained has been included in my report. Unfortunately there are no externals from on site as I was disturbed by an unmarked van which pulled...
