Today when i woke up, it was snowing hard - i hadn't planned to go out but didn't want to waste the opportunity to get some snowy shots of abandonment. I chose West Park as i hadn't been round there in a long time ...but by time i got there most of the snow had disappeared.
I continued round, keeping an eye out for sensors and cameras - many of the buildings had barely changed since i last saw them in early 2006, but i did notice that many of the roofs had been stripped of tiles and lead :icon_evil
I didn't hang around too long as i didn't want to tempt fate, but moved on to West Parks most neglected area - Hollywood lodge, destroyed by fire in 2004/2005?
Hollywood lodge has a security horse
the whole lot had been grafitti'd up to add to the sheer trashed appearance of the building, however some boards were missing and i got a sneaky view of inside.
I then proceeded to St. Ebbas hospital (5 mins round the corner) and just stuck to taking external photos. I spoke to a very friendly guard there who told me that much of the site was going to be demolished by the new owners to make way for....guess what.....housing
