High Royds was not my first explore but it was my first with a camera. Explored with phill d last year. They had already started conversion and the toy town estate was well underway. This was before they had upped security measures so we spent a good 6 hours here. i wont bore you with history as im sure everyone now knows and has seen every inch of this place.
Here are my pics.
one of the first rooms we came to
Main admin block
water damage
super indendants floor
some of the endless corridors
heavily used corridor in the film 'Asylum'
all except this one of course which is literally end-less
Through the blue toilet
and down to the butchers slab
one of the many toilets on the way
out to the glorious ballroom, where mael and female patients for the first time were eventually allowed to mix at the annual hospital ball, sexy time!
i love the decor in here, although i understand they have blocked the mantel pieces with breeze blocks now? possibly for preservation.
one of the oxidised taps under the stage
through some of the wonderfully decorated rooms
and up to the infamous clocktower
age old graffiti
the view of the village
then on our way to the empty gym
and up to the stores
more light fun in the basement of the gym
and out in the yard
and up to the wards
down to the mortuary, i was born in 82!
the room is circular and has a viewing platform at the back for the young medical students to observe a post mortem.
the body fridge
polite notice
the back room
with some major oxidation
and finally we followed where the old rail line would have been that brought in supplies to the self sufficient village - down to the small chapel and field which at first you would think empty until closer inspection
2858 people lie here in un marked graves... and you can tell!
