History Built for the benefit of the patients of the Norfolk & Norwich Hospital, the former Fletcher Convalescent Home is now itself in need of some TLC. Absorbed into the NHS during the twentieth century, it was converted into a geriatric unit and then closed and sold for development. Planning permission for its conversion to…
History Borrowed: In 1886 John North gifted £6,000 to open a convalescent home in memory of his daughter Ida. Chorley and Connon were the Architects, opened 10th May 1888. Robert Arthington financed a second hospital on adjacent site which opened May 1905, and took his name but was mostly referred to as ‘Cookridge’. Ida hospital is the two…
Part 2 of our trip to the old abandoned OM Asylum. This part of the report features the main admin block, I was happy to see that the Grand Piano still remained, and there’s no denying that this was probably one of the highlights of the trip. I think the admin block had alot more…
I’m not going to do a full history on this one just yet, Demolition is well under way with parts of the site completely demolished already. Briefly this old Abandoned Asylum somewhere in the UK was established in the very early 1800’s and closed in the early twentieth century. The Asylum catered for both private…
Welcome to Part 1 of 3 post for this epic revisit to Serenity Hospital! Visited this time With Mars Lander, Ssssshhh, Luckpants and Perjury Saint. Whilst I really enjoyed the first trip here, seeing it all again for a second time but this time feeling a little bit more familiar with the layout I was…
My first derelict Primary School, interesting. A little on the trashed side but still a lot to see. Highlight had to be the gym and a couple of the classrooms were still recognisable. Not sure if kids or thieves trashed the place but shame to see it all a mess. Accompanied by the full S.O’C.C.…
After a quick refuel and Burger King, we decided to split up the rather large group that we had amassed on this Scottish adventure and while 4 of our crew went off to check out the next spot, the remaining 5 of us had a little mooch about this little abandoned house. Named the Teddy…
A weekend away for the Silly O’clock Crew we decided to venture up to Scotland to meet up with our good friends and Scotland’s finest explorers Baron Scotland, Stussy and Sickbag Scattergun. Destination number 1 was the infamous RCH Asylum. Crack of dawn was our choice time for approach and after an epic marathon drive…
History This one has a bit of a sad history to it :(. The house was occupied by a lady who appear to have been living alone until she passed away recently… very recently. Although the house appears like it has been empty for quite sometime, evidence scattered about the place confirmed what we already…
History OK so based upon what I have read, apparently Timbers in the malthouse have been examined by the English Heritage and some including the attic floors were found to have been there since 1750. I cant vouch for the validity of this information but if that is the case then its a pretty old…
