Did this a couple weeks back just haven’t had chance to type up a report yet so sorry. :P
Its been done a few times before but Ive never done it myself until now. My friend wanted to get in there and do some video stuff so I thought I would join him and im glad I did! That and I hadn’t seen any reports/pictures of it at night!
A brief history:
It started out as a prison built in 1849 and then became a police headquarters/magistrates court in 1935. It even survived a direct hit in a WW2 air raid in which a bomb fell through the roof but failed to detonate! The police left the place in 1976 and the building was used by Freedom Fields Hospital which was shut down by 1998.

We only managed to get in the main 3 floor building and although access to the other buildings may have been possible we didn’t want to risk getting stuck :\
Still a really nice explore! And not a syringe in sight! (had my friend keeping an eye out too because i didn’t have my big steel-toe-cap urbexing boots)
The infamous fish
Had a go at a bit of light painting

Thanks for looking!
