Report - Headley Court Military Hospital, Surrey - March 2023

[Grom]

My first explore of the year, and probably the most substantial explore I've done for a little while.

History
Formally known as Defence Medical Rehabilitation Centre Headley Court or DMRC Headley Court. The site began in 1899 and was in use by the military between 1946 to 2018.
It became a a rehabillitation centre injured members of the british armed forces in 1985 until in 2018 where it closed and the DMRC services were moved up to Stanford Hall near Loughborough.

The site is split up into a site containing the main manor house and a seperate site across the road. The Manor being the main part of the site is well looked after by it's new owners Angle Property.
However the site(s) across the road appear to have been ignored and not cared for.


The Explore
This was the first explore I've done for a while, and I've missed it. The manor house is well looked after with live in security, however the other site is unloved and been left as a bit of a free-for-all. The hospital was actually a fair bit bigger than I'd anticipated, consisting of a few seperate buildings.

Some parts were in a really good condition, whereas others were rotten, mouldy and damp ridden.

Overall a decent and chilled explore. We narrowly avoided the incoming torrent of rain that started pretty much the moment we drove away.

We went several weeks ago and they were set up there, in the transport part. All new fencing been put around it as well. Though it's still easy to get in, we did not bother with that bit though.

Is there still other bits to look at away from our travelling friends or have they been in and ruined the whole lot? 😕

Yes, but the main hospital building across the road is well looked after at the moment.

Ah cool, I've never been there so not sure of the layout, when you say the main hospital do you mean one that's abandoned or the one still in use? Aiming to do a road trip next week and this is one of the locations we were hoping to see 😎🙌

It's all closed. The main bulk of the site including the manor house, swimming pool etc is located on the other side of the road to these parts, it's got live in security at the moment.

Completely torn apart it had only been a month in between visits for me. They are gonna go if they don’t have to because they live in the back field not on the hospital grounds

For context me and my friends were running up and down this hallway the last time we went
