Down there somewhere
Since I overhauled our website and removed all our topside locations I've been meaning to add threads for each one here in way of atleast having them online somewhere. No idea how frequently I'll get around to adding them, but here's the first. I'll simply copy and paste the old website text into the thread and stick up a selection of photos.

I do not apologise for the quality of the photos! :) Photography was not then and is not now my reason for exploring, just over the past four years I've improved slightly simply as a result of taking so many pics.

Croydon General Hospital

We visited here a couple of times at the end of 2003, on one occassion with Mr. Bones.

C.G.H was permanently closed in March 1997, though a day care centre operated in one of it's out buildings. It was an interesting mix of architectural styles, though the bulk of the buildings on the site were from the 1926 expansion of the hospital, established there in 1867.

The most notable point about C.G.H was how much apparatus was still in-situ. For one reason or another it seemed that very little had been removed from the site. All buildings on site at C.G.H have now been demolished and a new NHS Mental Health facility built in its place. The new facility incorporates original C.G.H stone work.

Always good to see the old stuff again. Strange to think that in 5/10 years, so little of what's being explored today will remain.
 
Fantastic JD, and considering we explored this on the very first day we met up - it was a GREAT explore. Would you like me to post a picture of the annoying buzzer gadget?

None of my photos came out :(

This place was supposedly guarded by the same company as Cane Hill
 
Excelent pics, it always amazes me how much stuff is just left and some expensive looking equipment aswell. You'd have though with something like a hospital the place would have to be cleared out.
