Here's a few pictures from a few explores back in 2008 of Barrow Gurney Hospital I remember access being very easy back in the day just parked up and walked across a field and you were in, no on site security from what i remember but we did get caught on one visit by someone that just looked...

Hi all!, this is a place I've been meaning to explore for quite sometime now, only one block known as 'East Villa' remains, the rest of the complex has been demolished to make way for housing. First a little history... Barrow Hospital was built in 1938, with construction starting in 1934. It was...

Barrow Hospital was Bristol’s second purpose built hospital for the treatment of the mentally ill. The earlier Bristol Mental Hospital at Fishponds, built in the 1850’s was very much a typical Victorian style asylum, whereas Barrow was conceived from its very beginning to be a modern progressive...

Hi Guys! We recently walked & explored the long disused trackbed between Barrow Hill & Seymour Junction in Derbyshire, via Foxlow & Hall Lane Junctions. Most track was lifted or stolen half a dozen years back, however a fair few relics still remain including track, signalling and an odd little...

Visited with @Minor and @GreyAliyah (nice meeting you) This one is on a live site, we hit it early doors, loads of cars but not a soul in sight. History (Stolen from Lenston) Chilmark Quarries and its underground limestone mines about 500m to the north, and the surrounding land, were acquired...

Hi I was wondering if anyone is aware of who took these images of Barrow in 2007/2008? I am in the process of creating a site dedicated to Barrow, and these images are a few rare examples online of the hospital before demolition, and I would like their permission to use them, however they are...

Explored with @Pom I've known about this one for a couple of years after @Yorrick took me there. I have been down here about 5 or 6 times, with numerous explorers and my son. It's a simple 1.68m RCP for the majority, with the occasional refuse chamber. It has and interesting infall about...

Hi there, I'm from Bristol and looking for some interesting abandoned places to visit. I've heard Barrow Gurney asylum is good, but I've also heard it's been/being demolished. Does anyone know if it's still there/worth going to? If not, do you know any other cool places in the Bristol area...

Hi guys new user here, and also new to Urban Exploring. This is my first time attempting it so hope you enjoy. Background & History This site is located on the Waterford - Rosslare railway line in Ireland. The line which used to operate 1 train a day carried approximately 25 people...

So I know this place has been done to death, but it's being torn down with increasing speed so I wanted to check it out before it was gone for good because seeing pictures isn't the same as seeing it for yourself. I'm still new at UE so this for me was a big step forward as I was there alone and...

By a stroke of sheer fortune and timing, I managed to slip in here in the nick of time! Demolition is well under way, all of the different buildings having already been gutted by a combination of workmen and locals. Spent a good few hours in one of the few buildings that still stand! All thought...
