Aston Hall Mental Hospital, May 08

2 Mental asylums in one day! This was the second of our Asylums, but thirds abandoned place. This place was really amazing! So much to see! Bit bummed that the Hydrotherapy pool and Main Hall was not accessible, but the rest of the place was great, it has beautiful grounds, even tho it is situated in the middle of a housing estate.

From standing ontop of the roof of the kitchens




I loved this bathroom!




(Still editing, LOADS more to come!)

hmmm springy roof on top of the kitchens if i remember right!
did you get to see the RR genny?
what up with the pool?

The buildings have been given the chipboard treatment since I last went, but the kids had got in to one of the old blocks and the secure patient unit. We had to climb using an old pallet and there was a huge gaping hole in the roof where you climb up so required some shuffling to get around it. I hadn't got into the Kitchen area until yesterday - glad I did.

We bumped into two scrap collectors when we were inside, almost crapped myself when I looked in a room and there was a fella stuffed in a cupboard! Apparently its due to be demolished in the next month for that Old Folks home.

Ahh....but it is! You need ninja skills however!

We noticed two possible ways in, though patience is a virtue and I bet this time next week it'll have half its windows open!

bathroom......


now if it was the pool i would of been properly jelous.......tell me you didnt see the pool lol

I've been in the pool, well not literally. Unfortunately the open windows were sealed again. To be honest the pool didn't really excite me as much as the adjacent hall.

Pools excite me more than halls! I have a thing for a good pool

I went here yesterday thanx to thompski...Was quite fun and we got to see inside a few places but the older and more interesting biulding was having none of it...Although next time i go i do know how i`ll get in..
Anywya although it`s already been done on here and to a very standard i`ll add a few of my own...

really wanting to see that pool

Has anyone noticed the large underground space underneath the Hall? I thought it only ran underneath the stage but it actually goes underneath most of the building!

we had to go underground to get into the stores?

Mr sam if you want to go see that pool then i havn`t finished exploring the place either so i`ll gladly join you..i`ll pm you and you can let me know when you want to go..

Looks a great one.
