Report - Former Ashworth East Hospital - October '09

[Raddog]

Explored with OT and Dweeb.

Ashworth is one of the three "special" hospitals in England and Wales, along with Rampton and Broadmoor, that exist to work with people who require treatment in conditions of special security due to their "dangerous, violent or criminal propensities". Ashworth was formed from the merger of the old Moss Side Hospital (originally a learning-disability unit once used for the treatment of "shell shock" in World War I) and Park Lane Hospital, opened as a Broadmoor overspill unit in the early 1970s.

Dangerous, Violent, Criminal History? Just the place for a pleasant morning stroll then! This place has been home to some pretty hardcore insaniacs, fortunatly they're all securely locked away in a new building across the road leaving this place to get all moody and flaky painty. Just the way we like it. The pikeys have taken the lead and the floors are now heading for the basement, there are some seriously sketchy floors here, but there's also Mr Brady's boudoir, and some things are worth the risk....

Strange mould that looks like burnt metal
