Harperbury-nov2011

[Canonguy]

this was my first real explore as it was local and because i wasn't good at doing urbex research i had problems finding other sites

im sure i dont have to give you the history on this place as its very well known but i might put in on later

on my latest visit it didnt go very well. they had stated to knock down the smaller one (the old male ward i believe) and there were some fencing. it was like a maze and we could just see one building lit by the workman's lights standing right on the other side so we had a hell of a trek over the fences. and after a good 20mins of getting to the building with almost perfect timing we realised it was just a chimney and we heard secca shouting and barking :shock: olice2: and as it was pitch black we could only see his coat and his torch

lets just say we had a lot of laughs on swift exit as the secca guy and his dog had the same problem as us we didnt know the way round these fences and luckly we had out running legs on :lol:

also if anyone has any idea or knows anything about a tunnel that runs under the site please tell me we found one in part where the swimming pool is and we had a quick look down and seems to go on for some way (couldnt see that much only had my iphone for a torch) :dunno:

*(if there's any spelling/grammar mistakes sorry about that but is my dyslexic )*

this is where my love for chairs stared :lol:

defiantly wasn't expecting to find a active football pitch

me and my second chair :lol:

anyone know what this was i couldnt get into it in 2011 and i think its gone now :dunno:

i know Wevsky isnt a "fan" of HDR but i can guarantee this isnt one

my mate fell thru the floor even after i told him to tread lightly

please ignore my error of getting my shadow in the photo

when i went round here first time i found this building with these on the doors and windows and the key lock still had a red light on. on my last revisit i when back to this building and it was still borded up but the key lock light wasnt on :dunno: any one been in here

any ideas what this is ive been in and there anrt any clues

chairs again :lol:

hertfordshire's answer to banksy :lol:

[Wevsky]

Who said i dont ike hdr

The building with the alarm red light on was like that last year no idea what that was all about,did you not stumble into the swimming pool or cells?we believed the cells had gone when we visited as the site was a right mess

Youve captured the old wreck really well tho mate

 

[Shush]

What a great first explore! I love the shot of the swing.

You really are coming up with some good stuff

 

[Canonguy]

skeleton key- yeah adds a bit of fun to it thanks :beer: and yeah its was strange it was near the road that runs thru the middle of the place but on the side where the swimming pool was

wevsky- :lol: the swimming pool and cells have been polled down and there remains are in a maze of fences but i got to see the plie of brick that used to form the swimming pool and thanks

shush- thanks
