Report - Standish Hospital, Stroud - Jan 2018

The only other purpose I can think of for it is like a reception/entrance office for the developers. But it's a lot of effort to go to for that!

I agree - one hell of a reception or office and a lot of work for that!

I visited last month for the first time. A lone security guy in a little cabin back then, no sign of this month's developments.

A lot of this is being demolished soon. Worth a look round before that happens I reckon.

They are keeping all of the large buildings, even the swimmimg pool. But it's a full on building site now.

I'm planning one last look round the place one evening weekend soon if anyone fancies joining me

They're keeping quite a lot of the buildings.

A large African security guard called Ola used to live in the old manor house building and he never used to mind you going round taking photos 'as long as you didn't go inside' - I remember seeing him on my first visit as we walked into the site, walking out of the site towards us wheeling a suitcase behind him!

Think it was the same guard when I tried back in 2012!

Theres a couple of easy mines (no climbing/abseiling/crawling) near me, drop me a PM if you're inetrested.

Balls Green mine in nailsworth is a good one if still accesable

Upper has been sealed for a few years now and lower requires permission from the farmer. You also need to be careful in Lower as there was a really nasty fall there last year.
