I thought this was an interesting one, but found little information online. This nursery was part of the NHS Surrey and borders partnership, and is situated in a former staff residence for the infamous West Park cluster. The Nursery was abandoned in June 2024, with little evidence as to why...

It’s time for another ‘the pictures make it look so much better than it is’ report. Let’s make no bones about it, the condition of Scott House has deteriorated massively, but if it wasn’t for the delicious paint peel I probably wouldn't have bothered to do a report. It does however give it a...

So a decade later, I've finally decided to post some of my splores from years gone by! This was my first ever explore back in 2011... An oldie, but goldie - Once a well visited gem... West Park Hospital was based in Epsom, Surrey. Construction started in 1913, and officially opened on 20 June...

Scott House Hospital History Although sometimes called an 'asylum' by urban explorers and the media, West Park was never officially termed as such, having opened as West Park Mental Hospital in 1923, the term had largely fallen out of favour by the 1920s and was made obsolete in law by the...

this was the start of my UberX career that was rather short lived until recently. Years ago i used to live Just down the road from Cane Hill but I never knew what the castle on the hill was until I moved away. I went back to Cane Hill but it was too late and it was literally just a shell and...

Managed to get to see the mortuary before it was demolished ...shame the brain slides had gone and it was quite bare ..but still good to see .

The History: Headley Court (full name: Defence Medical Rehabilitation Centre Headley Court) was a Ministry of Defence facility used as a rehab post for injured British troops from 1985 to 2018. The mansion block built in 1899 was bought by the at-the-time-Chairman of the Bank of England, Lord...

I’ve not been here for 10 years now my kids are older I took her on her first explore. Hollywood lodge was trashed 10 years ago but now...well i never thought it possible. Didn’t have much luck at Scott’s.

Where to begin with West Park, what to say that hasn't already been said a hundred times before? It was undisputably one of the all-time great abandoned asylums from the great 'age of asylums' of the late 2000s, with pretty much everything you could ever want from a facility of it's type unless...

Next up on the back catalogue of lock down boredom, St Ebba's. Not exactly legendary when it comes to the old asylums as it was a collection small and consisted of small villa's spread around the place. Due to this, not much of the site was seen as everything was normally buttoned up quite well...

Going with another asylum today, this was my first big one. West Park had been pretty secure for a couple of years but things had changed. Kept on the low in non public it was great to get around this one before it got trashed due to sod all security later in the year. MC Hammer was still...

This place is nothing special - But I was in area :) The explore : This one has some reason been on my *todo* list for a while now - On the way back from doing the last bits of the west park - we stopped off at Hollywood lodge - The building itself is F**k but makes some nice photos. Even know...

The explore : After seeing this place online and thinking I was too late to see any of it ( Well I am technical) I saw that the ward was still there so on a cold + wet Friday afternoon, we took a drive down to Epson cause we had the time off work to go and visit Scott's house - for a little...

Headley Court was an Elizabethan farm house bought by the Cunliffe family, from Tyrrell's Wood, Leatherhead. They later sold this farm house and built in 1899 the imposing mansion at the centre of Headley Court to the north, namely under Lord Cunliffe, who was Chairman of the Bank of England...

West Park Hospital is somewhere that has a very very special place in my heart and my memories, as I'm sure it does for a lot of you who've been around over a decade. It wasn't my first explore but it was the location that really cemented in my mind that this 'urban exploration' lark was what I...
