    Arrow St John's Asylum - June 2012

    Let me start by saying EPIC ASLUM WAS EPIC IN ITS EPICITY AND EPICNESS!

    Yeah, I loved this place!

    History (nabbed from da net)

    The Asylum was built in 1852 and enlarged on several subsequent occasions.

    It was originally established jointly by Lindsey, Kesteven, Holland, Lincoln, Grimsby and Stamford, and managed by a Board of Visitors appointed by the contributing authorities. Kesteven and Grantham withdrew from the arrangement when the contract of Union expired in 1893 (eventually establishing the Kesteven County Asylum at South Rauceby, 1897).

    The hospital was set in grounds of 120 acres which included gardens, farmland and a burial ground. In 1940 female patients were transferred to other hospitals, mainly Storthes Hall near Huddersfield, to make space for an Emergency Hospital, and many did not return until well after the end of the War.

    Administration of the hospital passed to the National Health Service in 1948, and by the early 1960s it was known by its final name of St John's Hospital.

    St John's Hospital itself was closed in December 1989 with the remaining patients transferred to other establishments. The site was sold for housing and most of the buildings apart from the central block were demolished.


    After some tips from other forum users, we at least new to watch out for PIRs. so we did, right till I looked down the barrel of one! OPPS!

    Anyway, ninjaing out of the window the usual BLB shock and awe tactics kicked in and after some chaos I found a loose board and we were in.

    It took a while to get Beardy to calm down and untwist her knickers but then it all went smoothly!

    Pics, be gently it's my first real go at HDR!
