Hi there,
Completely new to this so please excuse me.
A friend and I did our first bit of urban exploration today at ‘Rauceby Hospital'. I understand that this is quite a commonly documented location but I thought I’d share my pictures and thoughts anyway to sort of say hello since I've only just joined the forum.
Having never done this before and not doing too much research beforehand I still thoroughly enjoyed the visit (although I wish I’d have gone up to the clock tower). We explored the place pretty extensively however with missing floors and staircases it was all too easy to become disorientated in the larger buildings so we undoubtedly missed a few bits and bobs.
A few overview shots of the grounds:
View of the Cathedral from the Elevator pulley tower:
A few pictures from inside the Pulley tower:
I took a few more very shoddy pictures of the inside of the Pulley tower.
The motor itself and some override buttons:
An electrical cabinet mounted on the wall:
Coming back down (cheesy grin present):
Unfortunately we didn't climb the clock tower of the admin building, this is as far as we got:
Another interesting thing we didn't get to fully check out was some form of basement area in one of the larger buildings (containing one of the elevators) which caught my eye when I was above the room and the torch got glimpse of an old telephone reflecting off the water in the room.
We found the stairs to get down and discovered the whole room was submerged in water. I was very intrigued as to what the room contained but didn't fancy even touching the stagnated water which had engulfed it.
Despite enjoying the sights of the defunct and derelict institution I can’t help but feel I was too late, with many of the buildings stripped fairly bare there was little evidence left of its history. It seems a shame that it has been stripped so bare and then left to stand, I would've loved to go round when it was in a more complete state.
I have been interested in the whole premise of Urban Exploration for some time and having now found the forum I will definitely be exploring in other locations (with a better camera)
Thanks for reading
