yes mate its a cracking building
ive managed to get the old plans for the buildings (whole site) and 1971 nursing badge from there

Liking the "bold as brass yet stealthy" approach! ;)

Nice pics, a great building by the looks of it.

Fantastic! A shame you weren't able to get into the old chapel. I'd love to know if it looks anything like I remember it.

Possibly since even before the hospital closed. The years (not to mention the sex, drugs and alcohol) have dimmed my mind, but I think that the main chapel was closed some years before the rest of the site, due to a problem with the building - whether that was structural, asbestos, or simply maintenance costs, I have no idea.

I remember playing a monstrosity of an electronic organ a few times in a repurposed hall elsewhere on the site, but as I moved away from the area shortly afterwards I don't know if the chapel closure was temporary or permanent.
 
Way to go Matt!!!!!!!!!The outside of that place looks divine.Have they cleared off now then with their dogs?
 
After being in the area i thought id take my chances at the towers
the only part not documented being the chapel until today using some serious stealth and avoiding 2 security guards and one in a van i managed this..

Finally, the chapel falls to the determined assault of MattDonut. Result! :jimlad:

What a pity it's all cleared out. I wonder what happened to the organ.
