Second post, first being The Bowland Unit....now I have finally conquered the main site at last!! No history - you all know it off by heart.....
A strange morning really. This being my 5th attempt at the main site I was armed with detailed instructions so was feeling positive and arrived at '*****************....I peeked through the small window only to see the white security van on the other side to my horror! So I froze, sneaked back behind a tree and waited.........waited...after getting frustrated I went to the window again and the secca guy was standing out from his car but didn’t see me so I legged back behind the tree and after 5 more mins he drove off. So, over the gate and into the grounds in double quick time and upon my stroll in blazing sunshine to the happy house I turned round and to my horror again, the white van was parked in full view of me. I was prepared to give up on the sound of a bellowing secca voice but nothing..no sound so I scrambled behind a tree and waited an hour or so for him to drive off again then I sprinted to the golden point and was in....finally!!! I am convinced he knew I was inside as he parked outside the room I was in taking photos like a maniac and blasted out 60's music for a good 30 minutes which was quite surreal but I was assured that he wouldn’t come into the building so I was free for a few hours to finally explore this huge monster of a site!!
Few mishaps inside, twice going through the corridor floor, once quite badly and smashed my knee and ripped my hand open, but the camera survived an almighty thud on the ground luckily...then after 6 hours inside became hugely disorientated and took me 45 minutes to find the way out.....got a bit worried at one point and confused.....but it is now ticked off.....a mighty relief.........it was worth the hassle though, beautiful decay and endless corridors......hope I have done her justice....I have tried to include things not shown before to keep you guys interested!!!!!....enjoy the ride as I certainly did!!!
Whittingham's maze of corridors...
Downstairs chaos
Nurse station
One of the last remaining curtains left inside
The most photographed chair in the universe..
One of the telephone booths
The one other remaining curtain [quite clean considering!]
Lonely chair
The old organ
Chair without a view
Time stops
Swabs, gauze, towels, safety pins.....
Vintage tin in the ballroom
The ballroom
Upstairs chaos
FFS!!
Bed side station
One of the thousand bathrooms
Male dormitory
Nice view of the water tower
The Parkinson Lounge
Serving trolley with no one to serve
Ward 11b
That's it, finally I could say goodbye to one amazing building....or maybe just maybe she'll pull me back inside again.......hope you enjoyed them as much as i enjoyed taking them...
