Visited with my usual partner in crime Mr Ex

DISCLAIMER!!!!!!!!
This place is PIR censored up to the eyeballs and set to a silent alarm!
To cut a long story short we were escorted off the premisses by a 2 officers to a welcoming committee of
around 6-8 officers with 3 riot vans and the dog section to boot! We were also contacted by the
constabulary in the following days to say they might have to arrest us on criminal damage charges due to some
damage to the security system that was BLATANTLY done waaaay before we get in the place, anyway, was a bit
of an arse on, and we didnt get to all the bits we wanted to but we had a good old mooch around the place.


Opened in 1903 and closed in 2004, The hospital started out life as an infectious diseases Hospital.
Built on a secluded piece of land, the belief was that people with diseases such as smallpox, tuberculosis and typhus
would benefit from isolation and good old rural fresh air!

Not a whole lot of history on this place, i'm fairly sure i read somewhere that it was used by the Mental Health team for
a while but i cant for the life of me remember where on earth i saw that!

There was an amount of slight alterations and additions to the buildings.

Theres not a whole lot still in there, by my favorite bit was the long corridor goring from the very top of the site to the bottom.
Reminded me of the one in the old Dryburn Hospital.

Me being me managed to get lots of pictures of stuff thats possibly not that interesting, but here they are anyway
Oh and sorry about lack of externals, the police wouldn't let us take any on the way out :-P :
