Severalls Hospital, Colchester -- October 2008

It's getting busy, isn't it? My virst visit to Severalls, lasting six hours and we saw only parts of the site. Thanks to Megahurtz400 for organizing it. Also present were natevansate and three guys from Finland. Later, two others (I didn't catch their names) joined us when we were inside.

Rose Cottage. No slab here, though.




Clock tower in admin.




Presumably this was the entrance to the X-ray room.


I was told there was once a payphone here.




Drugs. This was in one of the theatre rooms.


One of the wards.




There were miles and miles of corridors.




In the kitchen.


In the boiler room.


Views from the water tower. These give you some idea of the scale of the place: more like a derelict town than a hospital. The admin building is the one in the top left corner.






The water tower.




Steam tunnel.

That was moi, no point leaving it outside in the rain to rust and rot may as well have it inside to preserve it. Im sure some kind chav will throw it back outside soon enough though

Good images was good to meet you on this explore, Ill add some of my images up latter today when I finish editing them.

Great shots there. I love the clock picture you have taken.

Underworld

I said I would eventually get my images from this trip up. It was my 1st trip here and its not going to be my last. Did not get the best photos so only posting a few shots which I am happy with.











I'm a photography student so blame the artyness on that!

I still argue that that last shot would of looked much better minus the really heavy radiator but no-one would help me move it lol

In the picture of the clock face in the water tower there looks to be a new bread of tv aerial for digital/freeview reception on the floor? Is it just me or does this look a bit out of place for a closed asylum?

i really wanna go...and soon...

Nice pics. Sev's is a fave explore for a lot of us on here!

Nice pics, enjoyed the explore
