West Park Asylum May 2012

[aquanuke]

After my first attempt at Cain hill asylum I decided to try West Park asylum last Monday, as it was a bank holiday thought security would be lax, but did get caught

However, not after I had spent a good few hours inside

Theres not really anything left of the old place, it has been stripped of everything. Its just an empty shell now but thats not to say its boring or not a grand building. Really makes for dark and moody photos when you just have the textures and details of the stripped building.

Sorry in advance for my bad photography for those who do not like

I'm sure there will be a queue of people forming to jump on the HDR hate bandwagon but I quite like those, nice work!

HDR has in fact enhanced the "life after people"aspect of this place in your photos.

Nice work

Absolutely gorgeous! Amazing! I didn't even know this part of the building would have been accessible :O My favorite one is the 9th one down - so grimey and eery. Well done

How much is there actually left of this place?!

 

[aquanuke]

I only explorered two building one being the main building before I got caught and escorted off site. So cant tell you how much is left.

 

[Seffy]

Hm ok. I didn't really think there was anything left to speak of at all, so more than I first thought!

I went a few months ago and it's completely gutted! All the wards are striped back to brick, the interconnecting corridors have gone and the services area (around the water tower) is now a humongous open space the size of a stadium! I would love to know where that wooden staircase is as I never saw that!?

 

[aquanuke]

The wooden staircase is actually in the main building. If you was standing outside the front it would be on the right hand side I think

Gorgeous photos, loving the treatment you've given them. We got in for all of about 10 minutes in the winter and had to leave sharpish. Tres difficult still.
