Whittingham Hospital (Whittingham Asylum) - May 2012

Visited with 3 non-members.

As with most of the asylums, the history has been covered on here and elsewhere many times, but just in case you haven't read about it, here's a snippet from Wikipedia:


We made an early morning entry, even though not as early as first planned, and after a near miss with security, we were in.
This one had been on my list for a while, but just didn't get round to getting up north and doing it. Although it is trashed, I still maintain it was worth it. But when I say trashed, I mean trashed. Even just looking at reports from the place from less than a year ago, it has gone downhill drastically since. Every other step you take, you end up sinking down slightly, there are holes in most of the sections of roof, meaning that everything is completely damp and rotten, making walking through the place full of surprises!

We explored the place uninterrupted, and apart from a slight detour to get out, the day went smoothly.

On with some shots.

yeh i agree, amazing set, i really like the one with the firehouse reel, and also the one with the staircase, and the picture that of the side of the hall! i had never noticed the decorative windows before because you always see straight on shots of the stage,

really nice to see some different stuff!!!
