st. marys asylum. stanington
This post is made up of pics from a couple of visits, i went before they started demo of the buildings and then once during. while they where demolishing it there was a group of guys walking around the site in high vis, i only narrowly avoided them because of thick fog, on that trip i only went to see some of the out building.
shame that it was demolished as it was a great place to have a wander round, there is still some of it left now but i don't know how much.
the main hall, the floors in here where rotten.
some pics from what is referred to as the villa
old drug check book, cant remember the date inside.

St. marys asylum, stannington. feb 09
well it was about time i updated the blog! so here we go, went to St. Marys asylum in stannington near newcastle. Originally named Gateshead Borough Asylum, it opened in 1914 and closed in 1995. there was dog walkers about but they was friendly enough, they know what i was going to be doing as i was carrying my tripod and had no dog! its bare inside but not really damaged as its miles from anything this place there was only a few house's near by. it was very much like whittingham asylum in preston but it was ALL natural decay, no vandals! here's the pics
first place i stumbled across was the morgue, found totally by accident! not often you find slabs undamaged!
this one is of the laundry so im told! just looks like a big store!
the main hall was very grand, but the floor was rotten as ive ever seen, there was a few places that looked like people had found this out for themselves! i decided to give this one a miss!
i like this pic as for some reason the chair only has 3 legs left on it!
yes its a HDR, was trying to show the state of the place with the building outside!
finally found the chapel was stripped to nowt, but there was the remains of an organ in there as you can see below!
and finally these two pics had to be done! :)
