silverlands orphanage

I thought lock down would be over by now and we could get back to exploring, as it isn't, here's another report from back when I first started! First visited in 2007 on a mass 28dl meet, someone somewhere must have the group shot of us sitting on the roof. I then revisited years later as part of...

Hello everyone, just thought I would let everyone know, Silverlands is now a building site, the entire building is covered in scaffolding and is currently being fixed and restored. It’s a good job too as the place was falling apart quick. Staircase is being removed to be fixed, polished and...

Again, this place has been done a few times, and there is plenty of history on other reports. Having seen some of the pictures on 28DL, I knew I had to visit Silverlands. Finding the place was relatively easy, but access was more difficult - getting onto the main drive was OK, but there is CCTV...

Silverlands was one of my first ever explores a few years back. Earlier this month I thought it was time to go back to see it before the proposed development starts. It was originally built as a private house however was then used as war hospital in the first world war. In 1938 it then became...

Silverlands has been done way too many times.... However I wanted to pay a visit! This month I’ve been here a couple of times - I really can’t get enough of this place! This place has been on my “To Go List” since the day I started urban exploring! The place is in such a sad state now! It’s been...

Hi my name is Adam, I'm from Wigan (Manchester), and here's my first 'report' on this forum, i've been on 28DaysLater for about a year but I've never posted anything, so here goes... Yesterday i explored the popular Orphanage 'St. Joseph's', it was great, there was very little ways into the...

Taken me a little while to get this report up but about a week ago I went to Silverlands Orphanage with kkj and CarCarzy was a reasonable easy explore.. seems to be a lot of cameras but have been there twice now and without making any major effort to avoid them have never been caught. This was a...

Decided to go for an explore with CarCarzy and Bill1991 in the evening. The place is easy find and access although there was a fair bit of CCTV. (Not sure if the majority even worked) We managed to get into the building easily and were all a bit shocked at the size, it definitely seemed bigger...

The Visit Having failed miserably at QE2 hospital in Welwyn Garden City (bumped into security who said they had seen the "lovely" photos on the forums and had been told by their boss to start boarding up areas that have been photographed like the morgue etc, doors now boarded and alarmed) we...

Silverlands has always appealed to me because after all, who doesn't like a good staircase? This was part of a large London group visit, which was a first for me as I'm used to solo exploring or just a few others. It was a great experience and I was rather surprised that the lights are fully...

The History: The Actors' Orphanage was started in 1896 by Kittie Carson at Croydon and was established as the Actors' Orphanage Fund in 1912. In 1915 the Orphanage moved to Langley Hall at Langley (was in Buckinghamshire - now in Berkshire). The orphanage was both a home and a school to...

Visted with Randomnut and Liv also thanks to vmlopes for his help. History The exact date Silverlands was built is unknown, however it is thought to be between 1818-1825, the first owner being Vice-Admiral the Rt. Hon Sir Frederick Hotham. Silverlands was used as the Hotham family home until...
