Hi Folks,
First time post on here, so hello to you all.
I made a visit to the old Loughborough General Hospital the other day after it was in the local press
as it is eventually going to be developed. I have seen the great photos on here earlier from Scoobs
and though an update wouldn't go amiss. Unsurprisingly it seems to be even more trashed than it had been
back in 2008.
We went pretty early in the morning in the hope that we could avoid any issues or run ins with squatters or smack heads etc... we did not run into anyone or see any needles about . The worst was a plentiful supply of cans of special brew...empty of course!

One of the external fire escapes. This one has been cut off to hinder entrance, the one on the other side was boarded up very securely.

Part of one of the mains boards that had been looted

First floor hallway looking in a pretty sorry state. We didn't hang around too long on the ground floor as it was pitch black and i had forgotten my torch

One of the numerous smashed up mains boards

This made us laugh

More amusement

Landing and some of the original staircase can be seen
IMG_5026 by AdamJJ1, on Flickr
One of the wards
IMG_5037 by AdamJJ1, on Flickr
Some sort of balcony area
IMG_5039 by AdamJJ1, on Flickr
A sample of some of the graffiti
IMG_5045 by AdamJJ1, on Flickr
There was very little to be seen of the original fittings

It dumbfounds me that someone would want to go to the length of kicking in every single panel in a partition wall...
IMG_5058 by AdamJJ1, on Flickr
One of the less secure looking corridors
IMG_5065 by AdamJJ1, on Flickr
I think that this was the original reception area
IMG_5086 by AdamJJ1, on Flickr
Guidelines on waste disposal...now if only the chavs would listen....

Rooftop shot. The flat roof was in immaculate condition!
