Second trip to St crispins Lunatic Asylum in Northampton
some history
St crispins was a large psychiatric hospital built in 1876 its first name was Berrywood the site itself was poisoned with views of farmland towards Upton the grounds were complete with there own farm complex , gas works, burial grounds and staff buildings.
By world war ll St crispins reached its most occupants and ownership was taken over by the national health services its closure was in 1995 due to services being developed else where most of the site is left derelict
when we arrived there is was such a lovely day and the way the light was shining on the tower it looked so beautiful. As Wondered over there one the locals came out one of flats around started shouting at us we answered but carried on anyway we were having a wonder around, an couple of our group were on the way over to us they phoned said the police were on the way in so they found us after a game of hide an seek. Then they us what we were doing so we explained lucky for us they let us wonder around for 15 before leading us off which the locals loved us for
