I know this has been done to death but...
High Royds is seriously on its last legs in terms of whats left and what will be gone forever very very soon. A massive thanks to Phill d for letting me tag along and teaching me the code of the urbexer! And to everyone else who came that day, muchos fun! Probably about 90% o people on here will ahve been numerous times, if you havnt, I urge you to experience this before it is turned in a hurrendous toy town village.
here are a collection of HR pics - through my lense. Enjoy!
There were 8 of us to begin with and we spent 6 hours trawling through as much as we could. On one dark and gloomy weekend High Royds was our playground.
Its massive expanse suprised me and you really got to feel how it was back then as a self sufficient village
We got through its twists and turns through various different detours - without damaging a single part i might add
all except this tragic shot the corridors are otherwise endless.
the vacant ballroom was particularly haunting with its gorgeous decor and impressive stage. The male and female residents were eventually allowed to mingle at the annual hospital ball.
toilet fun
The dead things we found just added to the overall feeling of loss in this place
there were one or two rooms which were instantly calming and different from the rest
like the clock tower for instance, a very peaceful place
...But even that had consumed something i was told - alive and well a week earlier, again adding to the feeling of loss and decay this building held.
more light fun on the butchers slab
more decay which is im sure to more people than me is quite a beautiful thing
and finally we finished out tour with the best/shocking/raw place in the complex ...the mortuary
we even got to play dressing up!
...but it didnt end there. This was just the place the bodies were prepared for burial. Next on the agenda was the place where they were laid to rest ...in unmarked graves.
thats it, 6 hours later and we were all ready for our tea and i for one completely blown away by what we'd just explored. Having read a bit more about the history, some of its patients and seing some old photographs when it was still in use the memories i had of the place suddenly became a little more real.
