The last minute trip started at one am, meeting Dreamworx and a little later Sasperella and his Mrs Mex:lol:

After a couple of hours we went back in to the dying town.

After 5 hours sleep at the Bell Hotel we met sinnerman and Tumbles. (Bell Hotel is highly recomended £18 a night including breafast.)

Great report, i really like the early morning shots.

Real shame to see all the roofs are stripped. Surprised they want to keep so little of this place, its a grand old place.
 
Another brill report which doesn't disappoint. It's depressing to see the roofs stripped. Looks almost deliberately done to speed-up the rate of decay & damp penetration! :(

Quality pics -some new areas I've not seen anyways :)

Nice work for getting up the water tower too. Was tempted, but wimped out for fear of being spotted :skull: :rolleyes:

Ta for posting ol' chap!
 
nice report, apartr from some (lead) roof stripping it looks like a mint site, is there more to cover?
 
Fantastic images ... with especially great lighting. Really love the first window shot and the graveyard.
 
Is it being converted now or are they just randomly demolishing corridors like before?
I'd love to go back here as I saw little of the place last summer.

Did you ever see the museum room full of antiquainted equipment.

link here if not, http://midwalescountylunaticasylum.fotopic.net/c1568220.html Believe it or not they ran the bulldozer straight through it complete with all the equipment still in.

It really seems to be a "lets knock that bit down today" type of clearing. Most of the tiles are off the wards now and water is getting in fast.
 
If that is the case, and the local Planning Dept. are showing little in the way of backbone, this is really sad :(
I realise that what's been reported isn't always the whole story / truth, however the whole history since it's closure sounds pretty shameful:- The ridicuous under-valuation and the way it was sold-off (whether this was due to the Local Health Authority or the Purchaser / Owner (who I understand worked at the Hospital).
And from the way the buildings are being stripped of roof tiles (to speed-up the decay), and the random building demo -sounds as if the Owner has little regard for the Building's History -at least that's the way it comes across to me anyhow :mad:
Thanks for the linky to your Fotopic photos -can't believe all those Musuem pieces have just been destroyed!
