Hi All,

You've probably seen the usual Hellingly photos many times in other places, so I thought I'd post these up as a slight variation to the theme.

We visited Hellingly back in March at midnight for the extra ambiance the dead of night creates! The site had already been subject to a lot of development and demolition work but the main block was still there. The underground tunnel systems were there so as it was our second visit, we spent a lot of time down there exploring. I've heard rumours that there were other tunnels between the main block and Park House which fed into a large underground operating room - I've seen an architectural schematic which seems to confirm this but we weren't able to find the entrance(s).

Hellingly security now is quite high as there are construction machines on the grounds but we didn't see anyone the whole time we were there, we did use a unique route in though which differed from the normal reported route.

The ground floor floors were rotted through for much of the block but upstairs was generally sound (the flooring being concrete). There were signs that there had been significant asbestos removal over the past few months so if you plan on visiting it is definitely worth taking breathing equipment just in case there have been areas missed.

Anyway, hope you like the photos
