The Staffordshire County Lunatic Asylum was founded in 1818 on Corporation Street, Stafford.
It later became St George's Hospital and closed some time during the mid nineties.

Visited on a snowy Sunday morning, a bit of a mission to get in. Bumped into two others as I was leaving, if you happen to see this, I hope it all went well.

It doesn't look like there is long left for it now, it is pretty much falling apart by itself but demo is looming as there are demolition tags all over the place which were not here when I visited last April. The floors that are left are really dodgy and to be honest it is that far gone it is pretty much a ruin in places.

Not a lot to see really and I still didn't manage to find the basement.

I like the look of this place..that second pic of the stairwell is great.The floors sure are knacked too..think I will visit one night:mrgreen:
 
Woo to that collapsing floor! :eek: Good to see the old girl's just about hanging on though. I was editing some 07 visit pics for my website the other day, and was wondering if she still looked the same out front.
Cheers for posting, sj. Love the little windowed stair pic. :)
 
Nice one! Didn't realise that this was a fair size building. The decay is absolutely beautiful, you've captured it well. I love that floor too! :p
 
Good stuff mate, looks like the scaffolding has been thinned out a bit since mine and Neosea's visit, (could be wrong though) shame about the basement but theres always next time ;)

Yes, there is a lot less scaffolding in the hall than there was when I was there previously.

I plan on returning for the basement, it isn't much of a drive for me to get there.

Did you notice anywork that had been carried out where the scaffolding was? or maybe they are hoping the roof collapses for their own means :mad:
 
My boyfriend lives directly opposite this! Didn't realise until i saw Corporation Street!
Love your shots! Is it still like this? I'm doing an A level photography project for Growth and Decay so figured this would be a great place to take photos! and i'm going up there in 2 weeks :D

Too be honest I didn't notice, they are renovating some of the buildings close to it but the main buliding is covered in demolition tags.

Thanks, and yes it is still like this.
 
love that covered stairway, brilliant pic...and that collapsing floor is scary!
 
i second that, how on earth do you get in?
i've come to stafford all the way from essex and have been to try and take photos of the building but cant, for the life of me, find a single way in!
any realistic suggestions? lol

How exactly do you get into the hospital as I can see on google maps there is a fence all the way round it?

Come on guy's, you really dont think people are going to spoon feed you access details do you?
