Ok, so I know it's been a while since I went in with Sonic, but I've been stupidly busy with other work, so I've only just got the photos done. It was a lovely day, but we got clocked by a big party of chavs stumbling round with their cider just as we were going in. We left it for a while, before scouting round and finding an altogether more "discreet" enterence.
I love this place. I think I could happily keep going back here and not be disappointed about not going anywhere else! The grafitti scum have been hard at work inside, which is a real shame though... We did the "tourist" visit of in, pool, main hall and then chapel. We were going to do more, but just as we were coming out of the chapel we heard outside chav noise and I could've sworn that I heard a key in a door (i'm the world's biggest chicken! :eek: ), so we decided to make ourselves scarce. That said, we didn't actually SEE any evidence of security again.

Out of order? You think...:

The pool. I had no tripod, so it's high-ISO noise-tastic:

Murder scene? I hope it was one of the graffiti scum..:

Pigeon-shit chapel:

Yup, it's still there!
