This is Manicomio Di V (Lunatic Asylum). The hospital was built in 1930 due to growing demand for mental support in the region. The hospital closed in 1991 due to new laws. [ The overgrown church [ The entrance of the theatre  The decaying theatre  The old projector Fences to prevent...

Here's a little selection of some of the more random, less-obvious shots from 10 years of exploring asylums. One shot each from most of the ones I've visited. Thought I'd try and avoid the obvious shots a little. Aston Hall (Nottinghamshire Mental Defective Colony, opened in 1930) Ward...

History   A bit of a mish mash as I couldn't find much just on the Chapel but this is what I did find.    After its closure, the land of the former Hospital was purchased for residential development by Bloor Homes. It was sold off to various other developers such as Redrow, Barratt, Harron...

Yet another place that nobody seems to visit unlike some of the places that are in a lot worse shape that people flock to like sheep! but anyway made for a eventful mooch with Fat Panda as usual! We arrived here to find the alarms already blaring out and after a helping hand from The_Raw with a...

Well... I thought it was about time I ventured over to the mighty Severalls to see what all the fuss is about! Along with 28DL member '12318', a sparrow-fart early start was in order and off we trotted! Access was up to the usual Sevs standard but we did it with a bit of perseverance, ignoring...

This is my second visit here but after 4 hours there the last time we still missed quite a lot (And still didn't get into one this time) I went with my nephew (High Tower) the first time and his youngest bro (Matt) wanted to go if we went again. The day didn't start as planned as I was up all...

Second Visit here and second on my own, but this time the tour bus was in as there were quite a few groups on site. I spent over 3 hours here and managed to see building and other stuff I missed the last time. Not much to say about the site that's not already been said so I will get on with the...

This was my second stop for the day, we had already been to Simons Mill (Report soon) and we had arranged with Canonfodder & Jen (Not sure if she has a user name on here) for them to show us around the Great Denbigh Asylum. I don't know what I expected, but the first thing was the lack of...

I've been wanting to visit this place for a while, so we decided to stop by and have a look around, it does look worse than I thought it would be, it's absolutely trashed now. Lots of work has been going on and everything has been stripped bare. From what I was told, one of the rooms that has...

I wasn't sure weather to post this one as some of the photos are not great. This was my first ever explore and only had a point and shoot at the time and no tripod. It's very stripped inside the hospital but the main hall is fantastic and probably one of the best in the UK, this is down to the...
