currently, Hastings, but not forever :D
Hey everybody! went to Hellingly again on sat with Allstar and Reaperman (whos knowledge of the place is impressive, thanks for coming along! :) ) and a couple of others, spent a good few hours exploring before we were asked to leave and saw much more of the place than I had on my first 2 visits (again thanks to Reaperman, I'd never have found my way around so easily). Among other things we visited the main hall (unavoidable) the mortuary, the stores, the laundry and the water tower which we braved the pigeon guano and climbed as high as the presence of ladders would allow! Anyway without further ado:

The stores

I must emphasise now that the demolition is imminent, plots for houses are marked out, brush is being cleared and a large compound full of plant and tools is being amassed, the admissions hospital will be the first to go over the coming month so if your planning on going now is the time to do so while you still have the chance!
 
I wish I could have come along as I was planning to do:(

The graffiti in Hellingly is something I will never forget, that girl is great
 
ive said elsewnhere but if someone is going please could you consider me tagging along? if im available. would appreciate it.
 
Shame we got caught early on but never the less i got a feel for the place on a first visit. Was nice to meet you all!

Pics should be up tomorow, mostly of graffitti but i have a few others also.

Shame there was no was up that final part of the water tower, wasn't worth getting covered head to foot in bird shit in the end!
 
Yeah i hear that, it was almost worth trying but i was starting to wonder if you can catch anything nasty from pigeon shit at that point, still was an awesome day an yeah very nice to meet some other 'proper' urbex'ers!
 
nice pics there davey, im pretty sure that the last pic labelled "stores" would of been the bakery and the to arches are where the ovens or what have you were. you were close though :)
 
Cool pics, never get board of hellingly although i thought i had seen all of it, i would appear not to have noticed the morgue. Bummer. Went up on halloween after a party in fancy dress and security were on us as soon as we went up the drive, they also followed us to the village!

I was told this place was Engineering..if its the place I am thinking of,it had a second floor up to the right of your pic.
 
i jsut learnt it was originally a bakery the converted to clothing stores. so davey we were both right :p
 
All part of the fun of tracing its history eh..glad we all got to see it anyhow.Keep us posted of its demise fellas.
