Was a nice mooch, still in similar condition to reports over a year ago! Haven't posted in ages and this one hasn't had a recent update so thought this would be one to start off.
hope you enjoy pics!

Was nice to see the classic floor buffers room was still there!!
A nice decayed entrance to a somewhat surprisingly less decayed ward
This next room had to be my favourite, such a lovely show of decay
Also, I enjoyed the fact there were still bits of equipment hanging around.
and ...
Next, I found a hole in a part of a plasterboard wall which lead to this ...
Little did I know it was going to open up to such a beautiful corridor!
Finally, I'll end this report with a photo of some meds holders that were in the pharmacy.
Mianserin - an atypical antidepressant (tetracyclic)
Ferrous sulphate - a medicine used to treat iron deficient anaemia - which in turn can be a cause for anxiety and depression
Methotrimeprazine - an antipsychotic
Thanks for looking, UD.
