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 Henry Welch opened in 1859, and was designed to accommodate 200 patients. In 1890 the asylum was renamed the County Mental Hospital then in 1937 the name was changed to St. George’s Hospital. The site has lain derelict since the late 90′s. In 2006 a more modern secure unit was built next to the site, and services transferred over.
Got the intel from Stussy (cheers dude), walking up to the access point, could have bidden a cheery 'morning' to the security chappy, but he eventually buggered off whilst I hosed down a few trees in a field nearby. Quick stroll up a hill and found the access recently steel shuttered. Like a boss we quickly discovered a slightly more subtle entrance. To find myself sitting in a sink.
Have some pics.
