I seem to of been lucky on my first visit to this old hospital in Norfolk.

It was once for the mentally handicapped people and was for patients from East Anglia.

It closed in the 90's and since then has had many houses built within the acres of land, this building would need lots of £££ spent to bring it back from decay as it is at present.

I had a message from a friend telling me that he wanted to use this location for a shoot with his car so I thought I would go and check it out as I was passing through from work.
I had a little walk around with the camera and my camera bag and soon see an opportunity to gain access. I had a quick look inside but couldn't see much as it was so dark, luckily I had a couple of torches in my kit bag so in I went (Unfortunately without my tripod) :(

A little spooky walking around inside but the bit that got to me a little was when I was on the 1st floor about half way down a dark hall, looking one way with a small torch in hand when a creaking door started behind me! :eek:

A little spooked by this but just told myself it was just the breeze blowing through an open (Broken) window :)

Anyway here are my images and my first post on DP.

You done well in there without a tripod. I went in there without one..and really struggled. .its sad that most of the staircase has been stolen.

Yes it is sad, also the fact that windows, doors and pipework has been bashed and broken.
The noise in some of the images due to the ISO being high seem to add something to the images so not all bad ;)
 
nice effort despite the no tripod, the place didnt appeal to me that much on my visit, wish I took more snaps than I did as ive been in worse places than this now :)

Good stuff!
 
Some quality pictures there. I find without a tripod it's much easier to get some different angles and lighting, look at things from a different perspective.
 
Wondering if anyone that has been here recently is online to talk quickly?

OT: Great photos, gj!
 
Nice report looks a decent place. Well done as other have said without a tripod. I know to well how painful it is when you forget to take it with you :)
