Well my patience was rewarded with the tinyest of access points being opened to the Hydrotherapy/meeting hall at Aston thanks to the local kids. And yes, i did get stuck halfway out when exiting after i'd dropped by bag out first so i kinda comitted myself to getting my ass out! :mrgreen:

This was cool, but it was a tiny room and i couldn't fit the whole mural in, fisheye lens next on the purchase list methinks!

The meeting hall/theatre thingy.

The block wooden floor was suffering from damp and buckling. This kinda reminded me of cartoon moles when they're burrowing!

Entrance to large underground structure, i didn't go too far as i was by myself, will be exploring further next time!

While i was there i wandered over to the rather foreboding "Secure unit" set back from the other buildings with quite a hefty fence surrounding most of it. Every door in this place was a heavyweight "fire door" with pretty substantial locks on every one, compared to the lower internal security of the lower risk accomodation blocks.

Sure enough the locals had been ripping out anything of scrap value.

Trashed bathroom

Room filled with kids toys.....and porn! Almost every room was brightly decorated and had an air of the surreal about it.

Lastly this place right at the back of the site.

Hey great pics. Shame you could'nt get into the secure unit though. Some of them will have 3+ main security doors before your into the main wards! Hope you get some more good shots when you go back. Shame the pools not full....

Very interesting explore and excellent pics, ashless. Great-looking building and lots to see inside by the look of it. :)

You did a few shows there? Cool! Yea i bet it was nice when it was un-chavved.

This scenery drape scared the bejesus out of me when my torch just lit up the "radiation hazard" bit! It took me a full few seconds before the logical part of my brain caught up! :mrgreen:

yes it was nice i did the shows there about 12 years ago as part of a am dram group that were based in Aston on Trent. i also worked there once based in the kitchens don't know if you realised but this was where all the food was prep for all derby and surrounding areas hospitals was done then it was frozen then sent to which ever hospital needed the food. the chavs look like they have had some fun there since it closed some years ago i thought it had all gone but obviously not. i also heard that it was going to be turned it posh flats/private accommodation.
