Abandoned care home, orrell wigan, january 3rd 2013

[Tom sherman]

Hello this is a abandoned old folks home that i came across while working in orrell wigan.
its been stood abandoned since sometime in 2011 and the vandals have ruined it and burned some of it down but most of it is still standing. And its 3 storys high.
So like u do, i jumped out of the work van, stuck my hi viz vest on, grabbed my camera and went for it.


I cant find nothing at all about the history of the buildings, its got a large building and a few outer buildings.
i hope you enjoy the pics :thumb
