Help Support Derelict Places:
Thought I'd put up a few more I rather like.
Great shots one and all except the spider..I ****** hate them ok....you wont get told off for adding history to your reports as we dont all know the background to these places..,I for one have never heard of this place so now I gotta go search it`s history..even a brief description will do.
Hey hey I didn't "do" the spider, I hate them too! 
The Fletcher opened in 1893, as (we are told) a convalescent lunatic asylum. I'd assume that means for the not totally insane ones.
It was closed down in the 70's and reopened soon after as a nursing home. It finally closed in 1998.
I remember the fetes here, I used to take off all my clothes and run round the grounds
It was succeeded by Benjamin Court, which is built mainly on the Fletcher's old grounds.

Great work. Looks great externally. Love that with the Ghostbusters ambulance sticker. Great spider too. Nice use of black & white.
Thankyou. That spider was GIANT.
Like, hand-sized. Ack.

Yes thats right Mimble, its very strange how some ROCs have loads of Spiders and some have none. Aylsham was full of Very Large Denizens and normally I am o.k with them but some of the ones I saw over there looked like they wanted to eat me. I had to clear the whole shaft of about 6 of the *******s before I even dare go down.
Bleurgh.
It is really odd. I mean, Beckham has no cobwebs, no evidence of spidery stuff at all. Aylsham was infested, and Stalham was pretty clear. What's so appealing about Aylsham? Actually, I think maybe it's cause there's a muck heap next to it, maybe there's lots of flies?

Right, guys, I need your help.
The Fletcher's of sort of special importance to me and I'm trying to find photos of it before it became derelict. Have hunted online but I can't find anything.
If anyone stumbles across anything they think might be of interest, please send me the links - I'm desperate!!
