So this is my first post and my first real explore and it is one i wanted to do pretty quickly before the whole place is redeveloped.
I must say i thought that much more work would have taken place on site after seeing other peoples visits in the last year or so, i had read on a news web page that in may of last year building permission had been granted for a temporary training centre to be put up (im guessing for building apprentices) due to the size of the land and how many houses etc are going to be built.
There is however a large amount of what appears to be site offices portacabins with a loud genorater running so maybe part of this is the training centre.
The place is vast and took us four hours to do a full tour taking in first the church then the morgue which is easier to get to than the main body of the Hospital.
The main buildings have a seperate fence surrounding it.
After nearly thirty years you can imagine there is an awful amount of decay so its careful steps all the way especially when going above ground floor, one good thing about it being a very old building is that alot of the actual stairways are made of stone and concrete.
The main building which is the facing out front is a very imposing almost daunting to look at is also grade 2 protected and they have taken the original roof off and put a corregatted tin roof on, i can only guess to protect the inside from the elements before turning it into appartments, it is completely gutted the inside so its just a shell.
We also managed to get under ground in the service tunnels but the air down there is not great.
Hope you all enjoy my first post there will most certainly be more in the future once we establish more locations.
