Taken on a couple of visits last year - Northumberland County Pauper Lunatic Asylum was opened with six males and six females from Bensham Asylum in Gateshead. Always an interesting one to visit .....having been lucky to have seen what afaik is possible, have personally laid the place to rest!

Unusual main hall
Even more unusual fireplaces
One of the best bits of this place, the funkily lit corridors and trippy flooring
Your guess as to what that thing is, is as good as mine. But I liked the way the blue matched the sign!
The water tower
The view from the top of the water tower. A scary climb.
I think what used to be cells, more recently used as offices.
The angel before it got trashed. The poor thing is now smashed to bits. This was done for an episode of Wire in the Blood which was filmed here. Also from filiming is a fake cell door and the checkerboard ceiling:
Gorgeous wallpaper in the angel room
And thats it. There is alot more of this building still to be seen. The morgue would be fantastic but unfortunately is pretty well secured.
