Report - Aston Hall Hospital - Derbyshire - June 2014

[Bugsuperstar]

I found myself nearby a nice deRpy hospital recently (well what's left of it anyway) so thought it would be nice to have a little wander about. Scroll on by if you are wanting anything special I personally like wandering around places like this, the majority of the hospital has been redeveloped however a few bits and pieces remain.

Visited with i-am-cat-bug.

Care for the mentally handicapped was provided at Aston Hall hospital from 1937 until 1995. Upon closure most of the remaining residents were discharged while others were resettled into similar facilities elsewhere.

Thanks for looking.​

There are still quite a few buildings and villas remaining around the hall, they were all pretty much the same though so I didn't photograph many. There is some rather impressive Jumanji style Ivy covering most of them right now which looks nice.

One of the more modern ancillary buildings is a burned out shell so we didn't bother with that one.

Thanks

From memory there was a plant room with a few nice features....

Yeah, that ivy is impressive, bright red when I was there.

Nice set there mate

When I called in last year most of the place was sealed tight for some odd reason.
