St Georges Hospital, Stafford County asylum

Went up to see the slightly cremated remains of Stafford county Asylum, a couple of false starts and a wall crumbling, dumping plaster and a window frame all over me as we went in but its all part of the fun.
Some of the worst floors without doubt, some mostly gone...some floors were actually held together with the carpet, the vast majority just not there. Now not long for this world as developers have purchased the site and demolition looms. The bulding has suffered two major fires at seperate times leaving parts of the building completely empty.
One thing of note was the fantastic but in very poor condition Victorian greenhouse, still containing all its metal work and a steam house building next to it in the grounds... few pictures

Brunswick College - Art and Design

This is the matching set and was the Art and Design section of the Campus, located over the road from the main Campus. Been shut for around 6 years and had been totally sealed using metal window guards but these have recently been removed. Over all was not really worth the pictures but does have a couple of nice parts such as the television studio and the developing room...

Brunswick College Campus - Gloucester

So after knowing about this for a long time, and the curtain closing on the place i heard that it was do able again and i set off with Clebby to Educate ourselves. I actually used to go here in the mid 90's on a work based chemistry scheme to educate us a touch more... cant remember any of it now.
Sad seeing the place in such a state, pikey'd as usual the buildings are set for demolition to become a housing estate. The Redwood in the Square in the centre was actually a direct decendant from a extinct variety until one turned up in china in the 40's and this tree is a seed from that tree. Still not sure if the campaign to save it was a success or not, but i would guess not... few pictures..
