I took my wife into Northants to see the hairdresser & rather than go home & come out again I wandered round here.
On 5th Jul 12, 17:01 bigtip did a report on the building site part & it looks like they have run out of money and hit a planning glitch

I went into the front facing building which doesn't seem to show in the other report - maybe it was better secured then. Now it's wide open with only fecal evidence of the guard dogs as advertised on all the keep out signs.
It's well trashed with lots of RSJ's holding it upright but still retains much of its original NHS carpet Also shows evidence of substantial fire damage.

Considering it closed in 1998 and was still intact in 2000 I think the re development of the overall site has destroyed the place
Thanks for looking

, is it only the acro props holding it up or is there still some structural stability remaining?
