Sorry for the prolonged absence from a report point of view, I'm on the forum almost every day but tend not to post.
I've been looking at this site since it first closed and having seen reports a few months ago it was added to an ever expanding list of things to do. After checking back and forth for a few weeks patience paid off. I won't add much to the history in previous reports was excellent, in short it was a boys school Doone House, was requisitioned by the Air Ministry in the war, following which neither of the partners in the school claimed it back, so it was used as a Royal British Legion home, now relocated to Broadstairs, it served in different educational roles and most recently as a BUPA care home, although Obscurity listed closure as 2006 based on documentation I reckon late 2008 is more accurate. Visited with SDP. On with the pictures:
Apologies for the jaunty external:
Outbuildings:
Obligatory lonely chair shot in the garden:
Storage:
Window Shot:
Bath time:
This was strange lol:
Corridor shot:
Activity room with mouldy goodness:
SDP in the managers office:
Example of a patients room, all pretty stripped:
Front door:
Self portrait with the chandelier:
Colour injection for the stained glass:
And a personal touch:
All in all a good explore, a hell of a lot more trashed than in previous reports, but still with a lot worth seeing, go soon though, because the place is getting more rotten and more stripped everyday.
Cheers for looking, constructive criticism is cool,
