Caistor Hospital (& Skidbrooke)

[sixxfingers]

Today another early start with silverfoxxx, tims and myself...
(after a good tip-off from digimods - thanks!)

Over first to Caistor Hospital 1802 - 1990. Which has been a Workhouse, an Asylum and a Hospital.

Thought I'd best get involved and post some pictures of todays visit(s).

Three hits and three successes in one day! Beats going exploring only to find your chosen targets are impossible to gain access into...

Althought I must say St. Botolph's Church is more like 'urban site seeing' plus it's in the middle of the countryside so should that not be 'countryside site seeing'? What do you think sixxfingers and tims?

Sixxfingers do you think tims was cold at all today?
Quote of the day from tims 'I'm cold'!

Anyway here's some pics from Caistor Hospital. Hope you enjoy them.

And here are some pics of St. Botolph's Church, an interesting place, that I bet is very eery at night.

For the pics from RAF Binbrook our third hit of the day and some proper UE, check the thread on Military Sites. Good find there tims.

Went with the mrs today, it's in an extreme state.. as said, not worth a visit unless you are in the area.

The chapel and school house had a certain atmosphere however.

As we entered, one of the houses on the land:

Looking up, here we could see a cistern hanging off the wall.

Nothing a bit of Cillet Bang wouldn't sort out:
