St Georges Hospital - Stafford 07/08

Well this was my first time exploring this particular asylum, from the outside it looks sort of... Standardised and not very complicated.

The inside is a different matter, me and my friend ended up walking in circles because the place was like a labyrinth!! although it was a very cool explore.

Currently the disused asylum is supposedly slated to be converted into apartments, it can't actually be demolished because it is a listed building! That said after being in there and having a good mooch about, looking at the damage the place has suffered - I really doubt it could ever be converted into apartments.

The Entrance


Fire Damaged Corridor
It really looks like it was hit by a mortar to me, but oh well!


Internal Shot of External Walls


Stairs with Anti Suicide Grating


The Pharmacy


Generic Internal Corridor Shot


Damaged Upper Floor


Obligatory Peeling Paint Shot


Another Badly Damaged Corridor



I love exploring old asylums, so far though this is the most damaged asylum i've visited.
All in all a good day out!

Nice one mate, did you find the chapel?

Nice work T .

Me favourite is no. 4 -looking up the stairwell

Ta for sharing matey.

Lb:jimlad:

It's such a shame listing means nothing these days. My old local TB sanatorium that I explored was listed, but was knocked down in 3 weeks of it closing!!!!!!

Great shots mate, an explore I want to do myself soon!!

It's a great place isn't it?

That guestbook in pic 5 must be pretty full by now.

@ Goldie, by chapel do you mean the room with all the scaffolding? because that isn't a chapel... It was the staff restaurant according to the sign there. I thought it was a chapel at first though

Even a year ago I doubt it could've been converted as the damage was quite extensive even then, which is a shame. Nice photos, termin8tor.

Nope, the room with the scaffolding is the main hall, later used as a staff restaurant. The chapel is rather oddly upstairs above some toilets:

Its a great old place and a shame that its so badly damaged,we spent most of one day in there recently as we kept finding bits that we had missed,it is a complete maze and made a little more challenging by the state of the floors(as I found out).

Did you find the cellars near the water tower with the mutant fungus,its well worth a visit

Great pics of the place!

Very cool, i'd like to visit that place sometime. Building looks beyond repair though.

awww, i miss walking past that place every day!

has the demo work on the other buildings finished now?
