History. The first buildings on the site of Selly Oak Hospital were those of the King's Norton Union Workhouse, featured in the image below. It was a place for the care of the poor and was one of many workhouses constructed throughout the country following the introduction of the Poor Law...

Monkeyboy here! This one I've wanted to do for a while, for some reason I just never go there. When the opportunity arose I was BUZZING to get here, some people have done it many times, seen it all, etc, but this has always been a 'want' for me. Probably the best remaining asylum in the UK as...

The first building on the site of Selly Oak Hospital was the old King’s Norton Union Workhouse which was built in around 1872 to consolidate existing services for 5 separate parishes. Originally the Hospital was built to accommodate 200 pauper inmates. In 1897 a separate infirmary opened at...

Visited this abandoned Psychiatric Hospital in Germany with Bram, Lowri, Matt and Andy de Kay. Very little information about this place. After more than a couple of fails and bails Bram thankfully saved our asses and pulled through with this location. A building within a large complex of other...

Had a day round North Wales afew weeks ago with Urblex, great day as usual mate. This place was the second explore of the day. The place is quite trashed to be honest, reminding me of a mix of Cookridge and Billinge Hospitals. An enjoyable little mooch all in all, worth a look if your in the...

Towers Hospital Leicester The Explore What a fucking weekend, visited with Urbexbandoned :) Got to Leicester early with a certain post office on our minds. After a quick recce of the access, I was perhaps a little over-cautious to be honest and convinced T do go and check out some other...

Hi all! More yummy Italy reports here :) This one's a bit special, trashed but with a crazy amount of wheelchairs left behind and some great architecture, some proper asylumy stuff too :D One of the last locations on our big Italy tour, and it seemed to me a great way to begin the round off...

Hi all, slowly getting on my Italy reports :) Visited this one early morning nearing the end of the Italy tour with Behind Closed Doors, Kriegaffe and PROJ3CT M4YH3M. This isn't really a bad hospital :) Fairly trashed but still plenty of equipment remaining, there was huge mountain of...

Birkwood Asylum dates from the 1860's and closed in 2002. The most attractive of the buildings and the feture of this report is the old Birkwood House which was constructed in 1819 and was a stately home until the 1860's when an additional wing was added and the Asylum established. Many...

Evening all, hope everyones feeling funky fresh and all that jazz, took a little tour down south last weekend, chased a couple of new leads which unfortunately both turned up fails, the first was a an attempt on the lovely old 1930s fire station in my home town and the the second was an...

Another installment from the Jupilerrrrrr tour with Baron and Mega Magpie Masa von derp. This small chapel in part of a old hospital was a fairly simple and quick visit, there were workers there taking stuff out, but believe the place has since been demolished! Many thanks for looking!

Day 1 of a very memorable trip, wanted to do this for so long and as such the opportunity arose a few weeks back to make it happen. With it being very short notice, I went on my own and joined a public tour for 2 days, with 5 other folk, only 1 other person taking pictures !! time was limited...

Seems as if the tour bus is in town, and I'm the last off:D The History: I'm sure everyone knows already, and most people won't bother reading (I wouldn't blame you) but have some history anyway.. The hospital closed in 2012 upon completion of the new Queen Elizabeth Hospital. Relocation of...

Decided it was time to get out exploring again so sorted out a visit to Selly Oak as its been on my list for ages. Met up with two other explorers on the day and had a good look around. Getting into the mortuary is a bit risky but so worth it! History The first buildings on the site of Selly...

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...

The history of the Holy Cross Hospital is surreal. Built about 200 years ago, it has been renovated several times over the years then suddenly abandoned. A new hospital was built exactly in front of it. After a few years, they closed it too. Two abandoned hospitals facing each other...

Visited with Zero and The Baron back in March, didn't bump into a hundred people aswell, which was nice. Sure you have seen and heard enough of this place so ill keep it short and sweet. High Royds Hospital is a former psychiatric hospital in West Yorkshire. The hospital was intended to be...

After what seems like forever without an explore (in reality it's only been 3 weeks) I finally got let loose on the abandonments again! By 9.30am myself and OverArch had racked up a trio of fails in quick succession so it looked to all intents and purposes like today was heading down the...

Visited with The_Raw and MiaroDigital. Pool Park House was built for the second Lord Bagot in 1826-29. In order to counteract the overcrowding of the Denbigh Asylum, the North Wales Counties Mental Hospital bought Pool Park House and opened there a home for mentally ill people in 1937, with...

hey all, i'm back again :D So, after setting my alarm at, what can only be described as stupid o'clock in the morning and riding for what seemed like forever in darkness, I finally found myself standing in a Burger King car park waiting for my friend. Lucky I didn't have to wait long, and we...
