I cant even remember how I became aware of this place. I've re-googled and cant find it again!
From what I can work out from various internet searches, Sandiacre Care Home is still running in the area, there is even a current CQC report on them dated Jan 2012. (CQC is the Care Quality Commission for care providers - it seems Sandiacre is performing well )
I had assumed there was a fire and they relocated, but another google report says there was a fire in a derelict care home... There's always the possibility there were two seperate fires...?
As you can see from the photos it's got quite a lot of fire damage, and plenty of damp. Not really a nice place, but an explore is an explore regardless
This was another of my 'work-day' explores. It's so nice to travel long distances to these places and then get your mileage paid for
