Myself and Landie Man had been on and off planning a Wales excursion for the last few months and finally put the plan into action over the long weekend. We saw a few great places and one truly awful place (more on that later!) and kicked off our trip with Lluesty Hospital in north Wales.
Lluesty Hospital was a former Victorian workhouse turned hospital which closed in 2008 after the opening of Holywell Community Hospital nearby. The buildings have decayed quite badly over the years and it looks as if we turned up just in time, as there is now asbestos removal going on in the old boiler house with the doorways sealed by the blue sheets and decontamination showers outside, the roof tiles are stripped off about a quarter of the old workhouse buildings and the insides are being gutted as well.
We had a relaxed wander round for my milestone 500th photographed explore, but I only managed two external shots before the battery in my camera died and with the rain coming down I didn't fancy changing it.
Thanks for looking, more here
