Countess of Chester, Deva Asylum

Urban Exploration uk

I visited this site with, The Riddlers, Disco Kitten, Zero and Snappel.

Deva Asylum sits derelict inside the grounds of the still active hospital, Countess of Chester having previously been used as part of the hospital.

We arrived late in the afternoon and made our way onto the site to be confronted by a large untouched beauty with some buildings dating back to 1839. We made our way into one of the Annex` and started to explore finding that it had been modernised however was still interesting.

We then made our way over to the large older part of the Asyum and made our way into the water tower. The tower consists of one long ladder going up to the top with no open windows at the top.

We headed down the stone spiral staircase into the main asylum building. Making our way along the old tiled corridoors we entered one of the wards. The ward was of the old style with open toilets with no cubicals and the rooms were small and cramped.

We then entered a corridoor of high security cells where we came accross the wierdest cell I have ever seen, painted black and yellow strips it had a very aggressive feel to it and made everyone feel uneasy.

We then decided to make a move as it was getting very late and we needed to find somewhere to sleep that night so we headed out only having explored a small amount. I will return and fully explore the site.
