High Royds Hospital 11/06/2011

[River Man]

I know this place has been done to death but it was the best explore I have ever done so I thought I would share my pictures with you all.


Like this was ever gonna happen!

I'm not sure what this place was (some sort of teaching room)? It was a 50s 60s building,not Victorian.

Now of course the part of the hospital I really wanted to get into was Admin,but I just couldn't work out how to get in without being spotted by security. Then inspired by the film Hallam Foe I decided to take to the roof in a bid to get into the truly grand part of High Royds!

Then I got my first glimpse of the beautiful main hall, unfortunately from very high up with no apparent way down!

I then thought I'd found my way in when I came to a strange little concrete room perched between the gables but it was just a store room full of rusting metal shelving.It was at this point that I noticed that I was being watched by someone in the new flats opposite so I gave him a theatrical bow :ty and then got out of there very quickly before he took me for a lead theif and called the rozzers!!


So,that's it,and contrary to what the Kiaser Chiefs say in their song,running round High Royds is the most fun you can have with your pants on!

I feel I haven't really done this place though until I get into that admin block,if anyone cares to drop me a subtle hint as to how to go about it then a PM would be most welcome.

Thanks so much for looking.
