Ok here's my second report of my winter ramblings around Norfolk. Have visited Little Plumstead around 5 times in the past but never made it into the Old Hall part of the complex. Having seen various photo's and reports in the past couple of months I decided to have a gander for my self. Some history...
Little Plumstead hospital is for
mentally handicapped people. It has
351 beds for patients from East
Anglia. It has 16 wards and also 3
bungalows for the children. A few have
their schooling at the hospital. In
the physiotherapy dept. there is a
pool with the water heated to blood
temperature and they work to keep
limbs mobile. The site covers 200
acres and has a forest and lake. It
includes an interesting parish church
and a private chapel. Some of the
staff live on the site and the
hospital runs special buses so other
staff can get to work easily. It is
quite hard to get qualified staff. The
patients do craft activies and also
grow plants for sale. Besides the
medical staff there are cooks,
cleaners, drivers and engineers.There
is a shop on site and a chemists.

The bulk of the main hall at little plumstead is a mixture of light blue peely paintedness and what seems to be ornate but decayed plasterwork adorning the main corridor and central staircase and porchway

It was as black as a hole in calcutta inside, so there was a lot of torchwork and long exposure shizz going down!

This shot is looking down the main corridor towards the east wing of the main hall

One of my favourite shots from my explore, solo to add that. I used my XS1 Fuji for this explore as it has a film simulation mode. This is Velvia mode to enhance the colours showing on the walls...

I'd seen many shots of the ornate staircase at LP but seems time and decay stop for no hellhound!

Thanks for looking peeps!:p
 
I feel a weekend in Norfolk coming up lol I need to check out these places :) excellent shots as always!
 
Cheers Wombat, I'm a little self critical as I think I should have opened up the aperture a bit better, but the focus would have suffered.
 
Some magpies have had it away with the stair furniture it seems? almost unbelievable, I liked it, Thanks
 
Cracking images of dereliction.Thanks for sharing.

Thanks Flyboys, I'd seen this place so many times, and missed the chance too many times. We turned up on a whim basically, kind of lucky really!. Sometimes those type of explores are the best result wise
