It seems a lot of us have been busy on the splore front over these jubbly times and we were no exception after our low key A56 action we planned to put our heads into the lions mouth of Rossendale Hospital, Along with Sshhh... we went with mr and mrs Luckypants who'd had 2 previous failures here...

It was a dismal rainy day what better way to spend it warm , dry (mostly) and secure with security making the rounds around us as we explored ROSSENDALE H.

History abounds let the budding developers tell you how it is

Getting in inside is not the easiest and not bumping into secca and his dog is total luck of the dice but fate was with us on these days of mass street fetes. :)

from seeing previous reports I wasn't expecting the level of decay to be too bad but in parts it was pretty trashed

Artefacts and general "hospitalia" are quite in abundance here..

I dubbed this treatment room ward of the condemned even tho it wasn't technically a ward as such

It seemed a trifle sad to see Mike Oldfield loitering around the toilets like this, reminiscing perchance of past appearances on "Top of the Plops" or contemplating the release of a "Greatest Sh*ts" even....

Strange that a lot of these are newer than the hospitals sell by date...

I did mention that we were in the mental health block , there was evidence of a BITER...perhaps he was just hungry

Excellent report, I'm new to all this, posted my first report just now! Literally live around the corner from this place, have had my eye on it for a while now......needs to be done.

Superb pics, especially loving the HDR'd stuff.

Cheers, am on my way to see ya report now :)

I liked the Tubular Bells album i remember as a kid my sister playing it a lot.

Thanks for your great words guys :)
 
Nice one chap and chapess! I'm staggered that parts of the place are soaking wet and mouldy, I thought it would still be very intact in view of how recently it shut and how well it is patrolled. I guess the metal thieves are slick.

Your right i was a tad suprised at the level of decay, but in some parts it is quite dry , there is a room with polished wood floors that looked pristine and the offices were dry and not really ransacked that much, the floor boards aren't up or anything, as you descend the floors it gets colder and colder, it was a fab splore one i thoroughly recommend , we spent 5 hours in there.
 
love this report!! i reallly must do this one! oh god my list is getting rediculous now! ace right up too! really look forward to you posts...
