Report - Hamilton Lodge, Colchester - Essex July 2021

[Kallieyephotography]

Hey all this is my 1st post, I have been so busy with work ect, but did another asylum yesterday, unfortunately I don't have much history on the place apart from there was awful reviews of when it was open of misconduct and bad care ect.

The explore itself was great and not to tricky to find a way in !

Once we did get in there is about 15acres of land I would say at a guess several out buildings some you can't get access too but the two main building and which I definitely the oldest you can easily gain access too as no boards on windows.

We did notice that there was motion sensors scattered around but we were there 90mins without any issues, on a way out we were greeting by security who tbf was quiet nice and just asked us if we could kindly leave as it wasn't safe to be in there.

Anyway here's some of the photos I took hope you enjoy

looking forward to seeing this but you appear to have not uploaded the pictues

Also, as per the rules of 28DL you need to name the location

Thanks
