Went here today, as I saw a report recently and was shocked, after thinking the place had been renovated into flats years ago!
Couldn't find access to the better buildings and parts were live, with people milling around, cars in the car parks and CCTV.
Did manage to get into some buildings that had defo seen better days, but was a fun couple of hours.
The first building reminded me of Bradgegate Nursing home but much smaller, the second looks like it could have been a gate keeper's cottage and the last was the nurses accommodation although this was not accessible.
The hospital opened in September 1869 as Leicester Borough Lunatic Asylum, though its name was changed to mental hospital in 1912 and Towers Hospital early in 1947.
