Harperbury - ah, good old Harperbury. You may know Harperbury was my first real explore, and I've visited here many many times and thought I'd seen everything. Still really gutted the padded cells were removed before I got the chance to see them though.
Anyway, I heard recently of suitcases being seen in the loft space! And with a recent link on here showing a similar event in a US Asylum I just had to go and see for myself... So the suitcase hunt began...
A bit of history first.
This text taken from http://ezitis.myzen.co.uk/harperbury.html I strongly recommend you have a read of the full report from here, it makes for very interesting reading...

Right, now where's those suitcases...
It may be getting very trashed here, but there are still some very nice shots to be had...
Oh dear, the roof isn't doing so well in many of the buildings. At least it's exposing the loft space nicely.
However, that much water isnt going to be kind to anything left up in the lofts
Marcus stayed here...
Hmmm, whats that blue thing in the rafters above Marcus's room. Could this be his belongings?
A gentle nudge with a big stick brought the case down, but sadly it's got nothing inside.
In fact it was completely holllow The top and bottom had completely rotted away.
The catches were both rusted in the open position...
Nice to see the two baths are still doing well...
And this mirror remains unbroken...
And curtains still hanging nicely...
There were stairs here once...
My first ever explore at Harperbury was solo, and with a simple point-and-click camera, so this was a very 'back to my roots' visit as I did it exactly the same. Except the first visit was very foggy, and this one was sunny with an awesome sunrise to greet me
Hope you enjoyed the revisit as much as I did
