hospital

A little History Due to population growth and the refusal of the Commissioners in Lunacy to sanction an enlargement of the County Asylum, in 1865 the Leicester Corporation decided to build an asylum for the town’s pauper lunatics. A 30 acre site in Humberstone was purchased for the new...

Would have been rude not to nip in here while in the area. Again visited with Paul 2129, great morning this mate. Really not that much left here now and what is still there to explore is in a right state. Still, some interesting things left to see and alot of peeling paint. Glad I seen what's...

This place is in a epic location and makes for some nice sightseeing, although waiting for a gap in traffic was another story... We didn't get as long as we wanted in here due to a couple of the group getting busted! just as I was about to climb the tower :( nevertheless we managed enough time...

Very well known, why I don't will tell the history, for the umpteenth time. For me it was the first visit of an hospital / Lunatic Asylum in UK. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 (I've retouched the "ornate penis-graffiti" from...

Well well well, hasn't it been a rather drama filled week in the exploring world, who needs eastenders when you have weeks like this - we got Elwyn whingeing about his missing teeth, fingers getting severed at sevs and then today we've been graced with the despicable antics of some photo...

The abandoned Hospital of Wheelchairs… Not much information on this one. This building from what I understand was once a private residence but was later used as a retirement home / residential care centre which catered for the elderly in their final days. Despite its name there was little...

First a bit of history The Royal Hospital Haslar was founded in 1753 and was designed and built by Theodore Jacobsen between 1946-1961. When it was constructed it was both the largest hospital and brick built building in England. Britain’s first Naval Hospital which span a huge area on the...

Hey Guys, i'm back again:D Visited this place with SlimJim a little while back, although i've only just got round to uploading! History..The Haslar site was bought in 1745. It is a glorious 55-acre site overlooking the mouth of Portsmouth harbor, and it became the first purpose-built hospital...

Not many pics from here most of them came out dark and wonky so here are a few half decent ones :) Visited with Fat Panda, Hamtagger and a couple non members, Good day out with good company :D Cheers for looking

This place really should have been looked at a long time ago, the history behind the place is literally insane. Thanks to zombizza for putting the lead up, it was still just about worth a look inside although practically everything has been stripped already. I went inside with workers present...

This Hospitalcomplex was used as an hospital for the government and the secret Police (STASI) in the former GDR. I have no historical facts right now, will deliver them later.

Second of three sites on another amusing day out with KM Punk & Frizman, including a fun afternoon around Upwood’s famous tanks. This site has been off the radar for a few years, but has not been developed as yet. The site is huge (100 acres), and has over 70 buildings. The main building...

I literally had no info on this location so thanks to Andy for these snippets - The beginnings of the hospital are in the early 1900's and a new building was completed in 1966. The Hospital was closed in 2003. A medical office and emergency department was opened in a part of the building two...

St Clements Hospital was a mental health hospital in Mile End, in the East End of London. It closed in 2005. The buildings were originally built in 1848-49 as a workhouse, for the Board of Guardians of the City of London Union. The palatial design was by architect Richard Tress and cost over...

North Wales Hospital AKA Denbigh Asylum The Explore I couldn’t do a tour around Wales without calling into to see this one. After already being awake for a long time i’m not even sure what time we arrived or indeed when we left but myself and Session9 had a good few hours in here, which...

Hey all. This place has somehow stayed relatively under the radar for a lot of people. The place is now under demolition sadly, some of the best bits still remain though. A while ago the older building was converted and a lot of the outbuildings demolished. Inside the converted bit is the...

Visited this place in February with Urblex. An unexpected mooch that was cut savagely short by the arrival of the police. Looking at the times on my photographs i'd say we where in there for about 15 mins. Oh well, at least we got out and away without incident. Nice looking place what we seen of...

After 2 hours kip and a 2 AM start we set off on the 4 hour trip down to Gosport to revisit this epic place. Our first visit mainly consisted of getting lost and getting caught by security so with a better plan this time we managed to spend most of the day in there leaving no room untouched in...

NORTH WALES HOSPITAL, DENBIGH - MARCH 2015 History Designed by architect Thomas Full James to originally accommodate between 60 and 200 patients, the hospital originally had its own farm and gasworks. Planned for closure by Enoch Powell during the 1960s, it was closed in sections from 1991...
