Rockwood Insane Asylum for Criminal Lunatics

The definition of insanity is doing the same thing repeatedly and expecting different results. And every few weeks as we walked the circumference of the insane asylum looking desperately for an entry point, to no avail, the irony was never lost on us...

After a half a dozen extensive circumference scopes of the abandoned asylum over the past several months all resulted in the same failure, this time would be different, we thought, and it was.

A full historic write-up and more pics are here...

That just about sums up what's wrong with politicians!
Fantastic explore, Jerm. Enjoyed your blog too...those frilly glass lamps seemed really incongruous and bizarre. Nice.

Great report, loved the 7th photo!

Thanks again

Howdy!

Missed this the first time around -beautiful pics from a beautiful old building -thanks for sharing!

Nice place & report.. I was just searching for this as I thought I might like to go and check it out but looks like its not local......

Fab, if it was UK the building would only be fit for demolition by now.

I wonder though what are the plans for it.

Cheers folks, nice to see people are enjoying my explorations!

That is a great report. Thanks.
