St Andrews Hospital at Thorpe closed in the 1990s I've been wanting to make a visit for quite a while, only to learn the asylum was sadly partially demolished and all that remains is a section of the main building and the morgue. I made the journey anyway, i didn't find much in the main building,very very dark and they've taken the stairs away there's no way up now it's pretty much just a long corridor and the downstairs rooms that have been used as a dose house for vandals. The building has now became home to loads of butterflies, in one room there was easily 20+ fluttering there wings and adding a eerie feel to the pitch black rooms.
The morgue though was interesting, looked more like a gym with the punch bag swinging from the middle of the room. gutted I didn't make it there sooner,I can imagine the building looked spectacular in its prime.
Starting with the little out building that was the morgue.

My father was taken there after passing away in the main wing in 1994. Jim.
 
Lovely first post JD, the butterflies I believe are peacocks possible looking for somewhere to hibernate for the winter. I enjoyed it, Thanks
 
You've got the hang of this exploring malarky haven't you!
Excellent stuff! I'm glad I got to go round the main asylum while it was still complete then!
Missed the morgue tho, so loving this.
Thanks for sharing :)
 
Reception still there I take it? Done well with the snaps, shame you never got there a couple of years ago.
