Intro
I was invited out by Coolboyslim, when he popped up to me he said he was with his missus and a friend; I knew that this chance wouldn't come every so often as to the fact that the building is being slowly knocked down! So it would be a shame to miss this place!
History
The hospital, in Shaw Heath, has treated thousands of older people and psychiatric patients on the NHS and was first a workhouse, opening its doors on Christmas Day 1841. But it has fallen into disrepair and there are now plans to turn its partly listed buildings into a GP super-centre, with the historic clock tower section becoming flats for first-time buyers. The hospital closed in 2003.
The Visit
This visit went rather well, I drove down into Stockport to meet Coolboyslim on the main road somewhere near the Hospital; once met, we made our way into the side of the hospital that held the cathedral and the morgue. We went from building to building individually trying to find the best rooms that still had equipment, unfortunately anything that would have been left had gone along time ago! In one of the buildings on the basement level there was a rather long tunnel around 25-30M long, .6M high roughly enough to crouch through; we all started to go down with me infront until we could smell asbestos! We all went back and I got the opportunity to wear the mask since this being the first time I had worn one, it was abit odd; I went down to the end of the tunnel and got to the corner of it, unfortunately i wasn't in crawling clothes so I turned around, also my breathing was starting to get faster so didn't wanna hyper!

The Clocktower
One of the floors collapsed at some point!
Elevator like something out of Silent Hill
Elevator Motors
What we expect used to be a padded cell
Just a window with beautiful nature getting around to its business!
The backup diesel generator I'm guessing
Inside the morgue freezers
got a few pictures lying inside these 
Mould creeping in a little
Sometimes patients would sit at the end of corridors and prop there chair so that when the place got closed down it would make a great photo op!
Paint slowly peeling
Thanks for reading and having a look :') more to come soon!
