This was a great explore on a freezing cold February morning!

St George's Hopsital, Staffordshire County Asylum as it was known then, was opened in 1818 to accommodate 120 private and pauper patients. In the 1950s the building became St George's Hospital and in 1994 the hospital was closed.

The chapel was on the 1st floor...above the main hall if I remember right

Good shots, this is one I've still not got around to seeing. Surprised they keep the hall supported.

Good old GKN Kwikshore holding up the hall roof ... but looks like you got some flattering sunlight. :)

I like this one - reassuringly trashed.

If we go, we need to go to St Edwards down the road and check out the morgue that lays untouched...
