Pool Parc Hospital, Mini-report Sept 2011

[Flaxington]

Visited here after going to North Wales Hospital. Took us a little while to work out were it was, but got there in the end. We were a little underwhelmed - but that was not suprising considering where we had spent the day.
I'm just going to keep this short and just add some shots that interested me.

On the way out it was getting dark and we bumped into a bat that lives in the cellar. He spent about five minutes flying about our heads, checking us out. I've never really come that close to a bat before. He was pretty cool.

Up on the roof we found lots of broken skylights - why would you break them? What is the point? Maybe some pikey chucked the lead through them. Anyway we amused ourselves by doing some urbex style roofing repairs - well just covering them up with any old thing we could find.

Very nice mate. Keep meaning to go here.

Well done on the running repairs

Very nicely photographed. Sorry to sound sinister but many property owners and developers 'encourage' decay so that its easier to get permission for demolition. Hopefully Pool Park will get saved before it gets too grim, and well done on your repair work.

I think that's the most static that chair has been for a while! First part of the year it was in three different rooms but it's where we saw it back in the summer if your pic is anything to go by. Amen to what Mr. Bones said, that was what I thought had been going on too. Good on you for the repairs matey! Was there any sign of the security that is now supposed to be on site or has the owner just been paying lip service to his instructions from Denby Council? Good report.

 

[Flaxington]

Security? Mate, we had to tunnel in under the watch towers to get to the place

The hardest thing about this place is trying to locate it, we had no postcode, nothing, just an idea of the town it was in, phone reception died out so we couldnt search on the internet for an adress

it pays to go do your homework. The pikeys had nicked all the lead I noticed though.

 

[TeeJF]

Oh b*gger! I'm sorry, you should have pm'd me and I would have sent you some lat/long info. Still you found it. Did you spot the lead flashings in the cupboard on the top floor then?

Cracking set of pics, mate. We need to get out again soon!

 

[Madaxe]

Cracking set of pics mate and a lovely looking place.
