Whittingham Lunatic Asylum

Urban Exploration uk

Whittingham Hospital opened officially on 1st April 1893. Built to house around 2500 patients it was to be the largest area designated for the treatment of the Insane.
Visited with The Riddlers, Zero, Disco Kitten and Radioman.

We arrived and made our way over the fence and into the building only to be chased by.....
security, Police, A police alsasian and a police sniffer dog. (why on earth they were there I dont know).

So after running accross various rotten floors we made it outside and hid in the woods until the coast was clear and made our way inside. This place is HUGE. The tower which is an American style tower was our first target and had a very nice if not a bit wobbly spiral stair case running up the top half of it. Once on the roof the views were stunning.

We then made our way into the building and with excellent guidence from Radioman did a tour of all the main parts which include an american style tower. The intact main hall and various other parts of the hospital which vary in the amount of natural and unnatural decay.
