originally named Gateshead Borough Asylum, it opened in 1914 and closed in 1995. there was dog walkers about but they was friendly enough, they know what i was going to be doing as i was carrying my tripod and had no dog! :) its bare inside but not really damaged as its miles from anything this place!

3 legged chair

Bloody Hell! Was there only yesterday and looked everywhere for the mortuary slab and couldn't find it!

Was it in one of the separate buildings?

Is it possible that the only thing lonelier than a lonely chair is a three legged lonely chair

Aw I Love this place
Did you notice the admin building had been worked on? I don't know how long it's been like that 'caus it was the first time I'd gotten that far but there was piles of rubbish and takeaway boxes with asbestos signs put up.
