Before we reached the hospital grounds, I took a picture of this
concrete water tower. I wondered if it had anything to do with the
hospital, but ruled it out as it looked far too modern.
A discussion took place as to how to actually get in to the site (usually
the first task for any urban explorer). The National Trust erected
a mighty fence around the hospital the previous year, upsetting a
large number of people who liked to explore the hospital. I knew
that the fence had been breached in places – well, actually completely
destroyed in places – but didn’t know where.
We decided to check out the front gates first and recce the site for signs of weakness.
