st geroges asylum, morpeth. feb 09

[scrappy]

originally called Northumberland County Asylum, it was built in 1859 to house 200 patients costing £58,000 to build. it closed down in 1995. when you first get in you notice the damp smell straight away, and in places the wood floor has buckled up to 1 foot up! not the best explore ever but glad i got in, here some of the pics:-

lecture room

Nice work, good to see some recent pics of this place. Hard to believe it's been 2 years since I visited it.
