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
