Does anyone have any explores they would be willing to share with me in the Morpeth area as currently have no transport so trying to find any i could spend a day walking too and exploring local to Morpeth, I have a couple explores I could exchange. thanks

Was very lucky to get in this place considering how quick security are with there lovely dogs. I did miss out one of the main buildings unfortunately as I didnt want to wait about as I've heard it's a sketchy place when dealing with security. I would of loved to of seen the main hall but...

Wasn't sure if this one was worthy of a report so apologies if not. I had intended to go to the nearby closed police station however that proved too difficult so I settled on this instead. It was built in 1911 and is being demolished soon. This switch made me laugh...

little History.... The facility was designed by Henry Welch, the County Surveyor of Northumberland, using a corridor plan layout and opened as the Northumberland County Asylum in March 1859. It was extended in the 1880s and three villas were added in the 1890s, before it was renamed St George's...

This was a strange place as there was an older building next to it which use to be a sercure children's home, then there was another build near that which was the new building, but wow what an amazing place this was to explore, so much stuff was left behind!!! What was also strange, was that we...

As I was flicking through old files recently i noticed that I'd only processed about half of the pics from here. So I decided it was about bloody time I did - this is the condensed version.  If you are interested in reading more about the institution I would recommend reading the info on the...

Morpeth Police Station After a recent conversation with @stranton in which he said this place wasn't doable I figured it was about time I got round to putting a report up. Both the front and the back doors are open, so I'm not quite sure what makes it "not doable". Ah well. I was staying up...

St. George's Hospital The Northumberland County Lunatic Asylum was opened in 1859 and underwent a major building plan (developed by County Architect John Cresswell) between 1885-9. After the first World War it became known as St George's. With a reduction in patient numbers through the...

Had a quick fleeting visit to St Georges today to see how things were getting along. Demolition is well in progress but it also means some previously inaccessible areas are now in-fact accessible. I have visited here countless times now and found what I thought was the mortuary building but it...

Like afew other people I thought this place would be well gone by now so, it was a pleasant surprise to see a recent report showing it was still worth a look. Demolition has indeed started on the site but there is still abit to see. The hall is still there plus some of the lovely peeling paint...

St Georges Hospital opened in 1859 as the Northumberland County Lunatic Asylum. Throughout this time, nearly all mental health care in Northumberland was based at St Georges, but since 1985 increasing amounts of the hospital were closed and instead provided in community settings. The majority of...

St George’s Hospital opened in 1859 as the Northumberland County Pauper Lunatic Asylum. By 1890 the Asylum was renamed the County Mental Hospital, and name St George’s Hospital was adopted in 1937. The hospital closed in stages from 1995 with the last parts closing in 2006, services being...

St Georges Asylum - Morpeth Evening folks, one of my recent explores up north with Borolad, was a nice relaxed wander round once inside and got a few nice photo's on the way round too... We didn't get the whole site covered on this trip as we rolled up fairly late in the day, but we got a...
