This was and still is a fantastic place to visit. However rumor is its pretty well sealed up

How did you get past the gate.

Was thinking the same, getting through that gate looks horrendous, that barbwire looks as though it would shred you to pieces

The gate isn't padlocked it just has the chain rapped around to make it look locked..

Haha, are you serious? remember when went for a look at it & the main gate all looked pretty secure :

The local shops park there cars in it so if there's cars inside it will be open

Never noticed any cars etc inside the padlocked/barbwire gate at the front, seen the odd car around the side of the building (to the right of the main gate)

I wouldn't expect that gate to not be padlocked for much longer, public forum remember.....

It's hardly a secret there was a old lady there with her grandkids inside so can't be that hard to figure out if someone did want to get in..

What??? When was that mate?

What??? When was that mate?

Not in the hospital.. On the carpark

 

[coolboyslim]

The carpark is used by the building directly at the side. The gate is open for that reason. Also if they see anyone in that gate they will and have called the police has they pay to park there. I'm guessing it's private property and you could be robbing cars etc. But it's not worth it cause from in there it's proper blocked up. The caretaker who lives just behind is very good at sealing it up. The only reason I know is I spoke to the people who own the carpark to get info on owner in the early days to try and set a permission visit. And since the roof incident in which 3 guys where jailed for theft after they cut the lock and drove in to steal lead from roof and was caught. The gate is well watched and not worth the risk.

How did you get past the gate after getting past the gate entry is easy.

there wasn't actually an entrance.

 

[camkxbak]

Is it still possible to get in here? I doubt we will be seen as we normally aim to get to places at around 1-2 in the morning

Read little further up @camkxbak it's sealed up
