I know this has been done several times, but I want to put my photos on anyway.
This place is my first hospital, and is oh-so creepy, despite the fact that it has been chavved to death.
I believe it was built in the twenties, but the scourge of modern society that is the chav and pikey has unleashed lashings of pure hell on it to make it like it is now. Everything is smashed. I guess that is what you get from having no security, easy for us but we don't really get much reward from it.
The main hall has been recently burnt out, with the stage front destroyed, as well as the top of the stage. There is evidence of the scumbags using it as a skate park too. The roof has collapsed in the pool room, with soaking wet insulation covering the floor like a yellow, sickly blanket.
It is very scary, especially if you visit with just one other person, I was convinced we were being followed, I ended up throwing a brick at a pile of broken glass in a corner and it saw them off, if they were real. Probably a gypsie.
It is a place I definately want to do properly, but when I have more people to go with.
On with the pictures anyway.

We moved on to what seemed to be the kitchen, and found a refrigerated room

Ladies toilets are not too badly trashed

A scene of destruction awaits you as you enter the next room

My favourite photo of this rushed 40 minute visit. I will return and get some good ones I promise

Pikies have had the radiators

Our last stop was the main hall, it has been fire damaged seemingly by chavs letting off fireworks in it

The fire damage, it is worse than it looks

We finally moved to the pool room, where the corridor roof has caved in, the pool is not too bad though, apart from all the debris.

Thanks for looking, despite the horrific scenes.
James :)
 
I forgot this one, it is in the basement of the maintenance block, and full of exercise equipment.

see my post done last year, i'm sure there is a photo on the top of the maintenance block roof and all the glass was in situe !!
This place was bad a year back, now its 20 times worse .:(

Awesome report James!!
Cannot believe the chavs have nicked the RADIATORS!!! Well actually yeah I can believe it but STILL!!!

God! Its a real shame to see it so trashed :( :( but still, some great pics regardless!!
 
Oh yeah, how do you get to the projection booth?
I've always wanted to see a rectifier like that.

The rectifier is in the cellar under the main hall floor. You were stood right over the top of it when you shot the stage :lol::lol:
 
Yes, as well as: Fluorescent Light Tubes, Lithium, Zinc Carbide, Polonium-210 and Matchsticks.
Why do you ask?

:mrgreen:
 
The projector box is now a plant room accessed at the rear of the hall via 2 stairwells.
There is nothing up there though except pipes and heating equipment.
the projector windows that you can see in the hall have been bricked up in the plantroom side.

The projector room above the hall was a modern boiler house when I last visited with the Pirate and Ashless, and the maintenance block was actually in pretty good condition, at least to what it is now. Sooner they flatten it the better in my opinion - its just a strain on local taxpayers due to the numerous fire brigade and police callouts.

As much as I'd hate to see it demolished, it would probably be for the best, the place is just going to get more and more vandalised. In fact, demolishing the newer bits and restoring the older bits would be better as the older blocks are actually quite nice buildings and reasonably structurally sound.
Like I said, I HATE chavs and gypsies.
