After spotting this place on a list of old workhouses and asylums Tunnel Lover and myself decided to take a drive into Wales and have a looksy.
On return and having a search through the forum spotted Ridds was here last year,HIS REPORT
On arrival we saw straight away people were living on the site so decided to knock the door for a chat. The man there was very helpful in telling us about the place and the fact that the manager of the industrial estate as it now is was a complete pain in the arse and they were taking him to court for harrassment as he is trying to bully the firms out of the place so he can strip the buildings of there slate/stone etc and pocket the cash. This explains the demolition carried out on the site. Also he mentioned that they recently had a big problem with kids breakng in to trash the place so most of the internal doors have been well secured. This proved to be a problem for us later.
Luckily we knocked the right door as others living on the site call the police whenever they suspect people on site. After giving us a rough guide of where to avoid he left us to it, so here's my pics of the night...
part of a demolished wing
Into the canteen
Onto the main hall
Projector room is now trashed
