Report - Harperbury Hospital, Radlett - Various 2016

[tumbles]

Harperbury Hospital was a former mental health and learning disailbities hospital built on the remains of world war 1 hangers.

I've had quite a few enjoyable jaunts around Harperbury over the last 3 months both solo and one funny evening adventure with @Disco Kitten . I never really imagined going back to the fettid pit of the outer ring of buildings but then the rest of the hospital closed and its been one of the most enjoyable explores for yonks. I'm a sucker for hospitals so I'm probably biased. Some of the midweek visits have been lively with random security patrols and vans turning around corners when I least expect. I probably haven't got around as much as I'd like. Then again I don't think my work here is finished just yet!

That was in stores. Guess they may have held some stuff for them? Not that far apart

Had this discussion with Pete C when re-doing County Asylums. As he used to explore with Nutbolt who was the person who famously put that image up. However he looked through his pictures and couldn't find any of note. He does rememeber them and said they were located in 7 or 9 Meadow Avenue block which was for epileptic men hence why there were so many in one place. They were buldozed very early on hence why there are very few - if any - photos of them online.

I can't remember who posted this map, but you can see the location of where those buildings were.. long since gone.

The tunnels here are awesome to explore.

I visited here earlier this year and I think I explored a different building to yourself, loved it until got caught. Which part of the map were these photos taken!?
