hospital,

A little while before our first of two visits I had been surfing the internet for hospital closures, looking for a site some way away. Then, out of nowhere, this pops up.... At first I was skeptical and decided to have a little dig in the forums and almost nothing turned up. So it was...

I'm sure a few of you old timers will be familiar with this one. It did the rounds back in 2009 but they've made it a tricky one to get into since then. I've been looking at it since 2014 but various recce missions proved pretty useless. The most memorable of these involved a bridge collapsing...

A few photos from an exploring roadtrip of Essex and Kent with Mookster and our American explorer friend from back in April.  Another backlog, and another one where I managed to set my camera to JPEG. DOHHH!!!!  We clambered through some undergrowth and spent about 45 minutes inside.  We were...

Hey everyone, so I'm pretty sure everyone's heard of this place so i dont really need to explain much about it, but if you haven't, below is a brief history of Denbigh Lunatic Asylum. Grade 2 Listed building. Built work started in 1844 Building work completed in 1848 Built to house up to 200...

Had a look at this place on a recent trip to Scotland. Very decayed and stripped this one but never the less still a nice spot for a look around. There was some lovely tiles still in place in parts of the hospital which I liked. I do like a bit of old tile work  :) There was a lot of kids toys...

History In 1781 the town of Montrose was unique among Scottish towns and cities in being the first to have an asylum for the insane. The Montrose Lunatic Asylum, Infirmary and Dispensary was completed after the institution of a subscription by local woman Mrs Susan Carnegie of Charleton...

Ida Darwin Hospital, Cambridge, September 2017/Jan 2018          Another year, another one of Landies big backlogs!   I first did this site back in September with a non-explorer friend.  It was pretty boring overall and the one building which looked any good, turned out to be inaccessible.  I...

"Wallpaper paper peeling heaven"   History   Eastmoor Secure Unit for Children, located near the small village of Adel in Leeds West Yorkshire opened in 1857 as the Leeds Reformatory for Boys by the Leeds Society for the Reformation of Juvenile Offenders, on a site deliberately chosen to be...

OK, I said on the other thread I would add the older pics of B Block. I also have ones from admin the year before as well. :D No point boring with history yada yada as it was on the last thread.  Visited with DK and IO a couple of times.  Admin: DSC02755 by Dale Hamilton, on Flickr Where...

Ok, first post on here, so hope you enjoy. Just a small explore from middle of last year but an interesting little one one nonetheless.  The Royal Victoria closed bit by bit over the last few years, finally becoming empty last year. Each time we pitched up there was always something still...

Quite a big place this one with some great decay throughout. Spent a good few hours round here enjoying a relaxed explore. Some parts of the building are worse than others .There has also been some vandalism and shit graff left behind. Not enough to spoil the over all feel of the place though...

So this was my second outing, explored alone. I only managed to get into one building, I think it may have been a residential one. Nothing in the way of medical equipment, which was a shame... I only spotted one way into the main building, but didn't fancy attempting it alone. Anyway, here are...

visited with obscurity and Mrs obs ... a little history ... The hospital was first built between 1934-1937 with the first patients being admitted in 1938. Barrow was built in a more modern style than the nearby Bristol Lunatic Asylum - The Glenside, which was a huge imposing Victorian building...
