This was the first site I ever explored, back then I only managed to view buildings on the east side, the west side buildings were all very well secured.

Today I returned (with g/f and Urban Ghost) after hearing a lead that some of the west buildings were opened, and I wasnt disappointed. As always on a 2nd visit you see more detail and bits you missed first time, but with the added benefit of getting into the west side also!

We got to see 2 of the padded rooms (mostly without padding) and we also manage to find the Leisure rooms AND the POOL! I'm really pleased about this explore, I sort of feel this site can finally be ticked off as 'done', although there are still 2 mystery buildings that I've not got into yet. One day maybe...

**Word of warning though, access is only possible as builders are in this side to remove asbestos, so if you're planning on going there BE CAREFUL**


Hopefully Urban Ghost will post much better photos later, but until then here are mine...

Although this place is derelict I have a feeling it will be 'buzzing' with life again soon...

Wicked pics! I visited this place last year and it was also my first - you found much more than I did, so I will have to go back and keep searching.
