Figured this was the most apt forum to pop this in. If the mode disagree please move it to the most apt forum. If you are unaware of this place it is where Harold Shipman first went into General Practice and the telegraph's investigations stated he also started his murdering ways here. I first visited back in October of last year and one more time early this year - both times failing to gain entry. So I re-visited recently and this time managed to get in. It is completely stripped and trashed and not hugely photogenic. I only really bothered taking some pics due the notoriety of the place. I'll start with externals front and back: http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2518/...d62be4dc_z.jpg http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2558/...d6ee25f4_z.jpg http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2694/...236621b2_z.jpg OK Lets head inside. Was surprised to see some murals in the main waiting area: http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4140/...2c11c3ed_z.jpg http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4099/...25e45480_z.jpg http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4134/...c99a7373_z.jpg http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4121/...ca9219c8_z.jpg http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4117/...71d5c249_z.jpg http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4075/...3251f7c1_z.jpg This is what it looked like on opening day: http://i672.photobucket.com/albums/v...erod05copy.jpg Thanks for looking. |
I love the Balustrades...
I have no idea *why*, but I do. |
Looks very photogenic to me, some good angles and selective lighting, you could have a field day in there.
Nice report BTW, some nice looking features still in tact |

|
That stair shots a gooden, lovely bit of decco meets arts and crafts imo well worth documenting.
|
This is where Harold Shipman started his killing spree

Fantastic shots of a really nice looking place.
|
I visited this place six weeks ago and I'm glad to see you succeeded where I failed well done :thumbs
|
I love these shots. Especially that radiator - I imagine it falling off with a massive 'CLANG' and scaring someone exploring on the other side of the building :D
