Ok, so not alot of history was found on this one apart from it was built between 1853 -1859 as a Corridor Plan Asylum as the Northumberland County Pauper Lunatic Asylum. It was opened with six males and six females from Bensham Asylum in Gateshead. The asylum was built at a cost of £58,000 to house 200 patients. The doors were finally closed in 1996 and has remained empty since.
I've wanted to get his place done for sometime now and after a couple a walk abouts there, access was eventually found. With time not looking so good and with only a couple of hours at the most free, i decided to call in with a non member mate. Wont be long before im back here as everything was slightly rushed but the number 1 site to see was the view from the tower.

Back down the ladders we went, and onto the exit back out with some shots to get on the way . . .
