While out in the car with a Vertigo Rod looking for places to explore, we drove past a set of gates which said private probity KEEP OUT! which in my eyes say, empty abandon building please come and explore me
So we parked the car down the road and decided to take a closer look at what was behind the gates.
We didn't go in directly through the gate as there was a few houses near by and didn't want anyone telling us we couldn't go in or calling the police on us, so we decided to go along side the grounds through a fence and up a very step banking through the woods, it was a steep slippery climb for about 200 meters, but when we got to the top it was all worth while.
It turned out that what was behind the gates was the old Mountain Ash Hospital that closed around 2011.
The place was a total wreck, hardly a window left in the building that hadn't been smashed by vandals, you could also see signs of metal theft, almost every room was totally trashed.
I'll be honest, after seeing the outside I wasn't expecting a lot more from the inside, but one of the things I love about exploring these old abandon building is you just don't know what your going to find, sometimes good sometimes bad, but it's always enjoyable, however thats all Rod done was moan all day saying I can't even be bothered to take a photo its that wrecked, then we came across the morgue
and his little face lit up like christmas
Thanks
