Yeah when I went a few months back and security stalked us from the darkness (literally popping up behind us without a noise!) with some scissors, after he’d thought we were ghosts or something he told us about the police training. I’ve noted it: “Police training around 9am/10am”. He was a nice chap.

funny how the security though yous were ghosts aha.

He was on his phone to his mrs pooing himself! So he came out to investigate. And he proper stalked around as he came out of nowhere! He think he was still more shocked to see us than we were him. He was a laugh though. He didn’t mind sharing how scared he was! Bless him. Haha.

Aha feel bad for the fella wonder what he saw to make him think yous lot look like ghosts cos if I was security I wouldn't jump to that conclusion lightly.

Can't believe we were at Mossley Care Home and didn't know this was across the road. But we initially parked by the gates of Carnatic while planning our Mossley explore and had to move to let a police van and then car out of the gates.

That was around 2pm on a Wednesday. So maybe its a lot more sporadic than "9/10am"?

yeah not sure when they will be doing training but it is obvious if they are cos they are all parked in the car park all comes down to chance me and my mate went in the evening maybe around 4/5 or something.

Every abandoned place seems to be alleged to be used for police dog training these days

I work here, just a friendly heads up , they will call the dog duty unit when people go onto the site , your choice if you believe me ✌🏻

INTRODUCTION
We got the train to Mosley hill (HATE NORTHEN TRAINS) and walked down towards the site, we sat on a wall for a bit pretending to be just hanging out chatting. When no cars were around I made the move and climbed over the wall with my friend. Inside the site we didn't know what to expect, I had scouted the site out earlier and I did see some minor activity at the gates so initially we snuck around looking out for sensors and 24hr CCTV but after realising that there wasn't any of that is the main areas we soon let down our guard and walked around the site like we were meant to be there...

...but first a little history

HISTORY
Carnatic hall was an 18th-century mansion that was located in Mossley Hill, Liverpool, England.
The house was built in 1779 for slave trader Peter Baker, who served as Mayor of Liverpool in 1795. Originally on the site of Mossley Hall (home of the Ogden family) it was renamed Carnatic Hall by Baker after the French East Indiaman Carnatic, which the privateer Mentor, which Baker owned, had captured in October 1778. Carnatic was said to be the richest prize ever taken and brought safe into port by a Liverpool adventurer, being of the value of £135,000.[2][3] In 1891 the house burned down and the then owner, Walter Holland, had a hall built in the same style.[4]
In 1947 by The University of Liverpool purchased Carnatic Hall as a home for the University of Liverpool Museum. In 1964 the mansion was demolished and replaced with student accommodation, the Carnatic Halls of Residence.[5] This consisted of six residences: McNair Hall, Salisbury Hall, Rankin Hall, Morton House, Lady Mountford Hall, and Dale Hall.
In 2018, it was announced that the Carnatic Student Village would be closing.

EXPLORE
We walked around one of the buildings near where we entered the site and found this utility room.

I really like how this place doesn't feel abandoned.

after exploring that little section we decide to move on towards the main area. This place is huge so we were never gonna explore all of it.

Okay now I have to apologise for this next bit I was a bit worried that the Liverpool echo was gonna try and rip a story out of this as its not a common explore (as you can see from the pristine condition of the buildings) so I've vandalised the photos in photoshop to make it unusable to the echo.

yes I know very childish or whatever but that's what they get. horrible newspaper.

its a shame really because they could turn this place into some kind of community centre/park or something like that but its just gonna become ANOTHER HOUSING ESTATE!

With these abandoned places they are rather getting turned into luxury apartment or modern housing estate or its grade 2 listed so they cant do anything with it and its just left to rot sad really like.

After walking across the field and trying to find a way into some of the building we came across this staircase on the Rankin hall.

view from the top!

We then found an unlocked door and went inside.

Photo of us made up to be inside some shitty student housing.

bathroom. (next door was some toilets and my friend kept looking at the shits inside each one don't ask ahahha)

Look how new the rooms look!

Kitchen.

If i was homeless then this would be the holy grail.

ooo police tape.

i think my friend came across a crack den (that stank)

yeah so that concludes our explore.

Hope you found this post interesting informative and entertaining!

Bloody excellent mate. Recently visited myself just because of this post, and loved it! Did you manage to get inside the Cafeteria space? I noticed you didn't have any pictures of it. There's a smashed window up top on the balcony area. Really interesting area, with some massive kitchens down below, with what appeared to be blood smeared everywhere. Definetly interesting, to say the least.

Good to see you visited because of my post! We saw the smashed window you are talking about but we thought there could of been alarms in there so decided to explore it last we then explored some of the student housing at the far end of the sight (across the big field) and then we came back and went around the main building and walked into the back binny type area of the main building and set of an alarm so we had to go. unfortunately.

plenty of police tape alla round those buidings. i think it shut down due to asbestos and most the buildings locked off. we had a nice explore there done the whole thing adn security come following us right as we left !

Yeah good you managed to explore there security have installed new sensors since i last went so its significantly harder to explore around without getting security onto yous. Good to know its still more than possible though.

Great report mate, never seen this place before. Mind if I DM you?

Did you find it? I went not long ago. Got followed by some old man claiming to be a member of security but, ''off shift''.
Actual bellend

Yeah, couple of my mates did it but it was being used for police dog training so they got caught quite quick
