St Edward’s Asylum, Cheddleton - Feb 10

[Tumbles]

Stopped off for a quick nosey while on the way to Liverpool. Difficult to find much information on this one. Build between 1895 and 1899 its bulit in some fantastic woodland surrounds. The water tower is clearly the stand out feature, which has been converted into apartments spanning 8 floors. It originally could hold 161 tonnes of water.

Lovely admin - good to see clock mech still working and illuminated at night.

Mortuary, currently used as a buliders lock up. Couple of holes through windows on the side reveal that the PM room still features mint intact slab and clean up sinks.
