Went a month ago and been here a couple times and it’s pretty chill, there’s a lot of nice decay in the buildings, honestly the scariest part is getting jumpscared by the pigeons roosting in the ceiling 😭 honestly Rauceby Asylum is just a 10/10 nice explore. Kinda wish I could know some of the...

Exploring Rauceby Asylum: A Portrait of Abandonment Deep in the Lincolnshire countryside sits the imposing and evocative shell of Rauceby Asylum, officially known as Kesteven County Asylum when it opened its doors in 1902. Over a century later, the buildings stand as a brooding testament to...

Hello, Denise here. Ex member but seem to have very much lost my info to get back on! Anyway, just been to Rauceby hospital. Still on the way home. Last urban explore I did was when the Caistor asylum was still standing! Anyway, I know it's a popular venue to visit and I'm late to the party. But...

Had never been before but was the easiest place to get into. No cameras or security that I could see and there wasn’t any other people when I went. There is gates around but they have been moved or broken so you can walk straight into buildings. Definitely worth checking it out so many buildings...

Yesterday we visited Rauceby Asylum in Sleaford, Lincolnshire. I'd never been before and on our tour of urbex sites around Lincolnshire, this place was at the top of the "to do" list. Rauceby Hospital, also known as Kesteven County Asylum, is a long since closed mental institution in Sleaford...

1. The History History on previous visit HERE 2. The Explore Bit of a break from Welsh slate quarries. Was passing so thought it rude not to pop into this old favourite and do a quick update. There’s been few changes since I was here last July. However, the road up to it has been tarmac-ed and...

Visited with Ella. We went up to try St John’s but it was far too busy with people milling around so we drove down to Rauceby. Spent quite a while wandering up and down the fence perimeter looking to get in whilst avoiding dog walkers who were out in abundance. Two ladies asked us if we were...

I had visited this back in 2014 and was my first trip out of Norfolk. I just got a list of a few places I wanted to see, so put Nocton hall, Stenigot and this on a bit of paper with postcodes and a rough drawn map for each and off I want for a solo road trip. i managed success at each place. I...

Rauceby Hospital My first report, Excuse the rubbish photos, taken on a iphone. Just a bit of history first. Construction began in 1897 and it was officially opened as Kesteven County Asylum on the 20th of June 1902. In 1940 it served as an RAF Crash and Burns unit, taking the name No.4 RAF...

I paid a visit to this site to see what was left of it. After a little research I can see that large parts of the complex have already been torn down. The site sits nestled in a brand new housing estate, but the older road the runs through the hospital site is easily accessable. Sadly I did not...

This is another place which has been done a lot but thought it was worth a look seen as I was in the area... Unfortunately a huge amount of this site has gone, its a real shame they were allowed to knock it down before anyone stepped in. Work began on Kesteven County Asylum in 1897 and...
