This, as for many was a first explore for myself and sweet_pea, our introduction to the wonderful world of Derelict Places.
I understand this site has been done to death, but I hope I can upload a few photos which may be slightly different.
As this was my first explore I felt I'd like to share my photos with you anyway.
We had read a couple of reports on this mental asylum/hospital before visiting, we're reasonably local so felt it was a good
starting point for our new-found interest. After driving up one evening and failing to find it, we realised this would be more
suitable for a day time visit, we wandered straight in and spent a few hours in and around the area. I personally took 120
odd photos, deleted around 30, and chose the following 17 for your eyes
Shown in order that they were taken, documented as seen.
Our greeting:
It seems someone felt a mental asylum would be the perfect place for their November celebrations?
This photo seems to represent 90% of the glass in these buildings, sweet_pea seen in the distance
Mind your head!
I do like these radiators, sweet_pea admiring the view
What about ASS?
Debris found on one windowsill
Tried to untangle this to no avail, I wasn't tall enough plus too scared of it
coming back over and whacking me on the head
Light shining through to the peeling paper
I like stairs and steps, inside/outside, big/small, I just like them.
Another of some stairs, notice the light hanging down
More peeling
This photo shows you how large some of the rooms were and exactly how decayed they are now
And a light switch from the room above
sweet_pea - A little advice; the floors can be a little 'non-existent' in places
A slightly more modern looking light switch
Decay inside, in the reflection of the broken glass you can see the outside of the buildings, almost presentable
Thanks for taking the time to read yet another Harperbury thread. I just wanted to upload to document my first explore & my first experiment with my camera.
