Legs and Borders

When arrived at the site the fence was wide open, but decided to wait for few people to catch their busses, as it's located right next to the bus stop, it was a good decision. After about two minutes three persons came out, guy dressed in a hi vis jacket and a couple looking like the owners, or people who want to acquire the site (currently for sale). After they left i made my way inside and spend good twenty minutes looking for a way to enter the building, as they made rather good job on sealing it, and eventually find one.  Fire that happened in may didn't affect the site much (and certainly not the front building), so it remains pretty much the same with all its dump and moldy corners  history: Summerlands Lodge was built in 1906 as a preparatory school called Doone House.

There was quite a lot of controversies about revealing location of that object (hence all the names) which ended in one of the major exploring portals revealing it, luckily place didn't went down the hill as expected as it is quite nicely shotgun-protected. [updated, Feb. 2014] visited with: Subversive and Happyshopper . It's this kind of place every urban explorer puts on his list . Full of character with every corner revealing something unexpected.

No problems with access and during the explore on here, St George Tower, has been done later on the same day. info: GT Manor is a grade II listed manor house in Oxfordshire, which is on a large estate along with another two manor houses. One part of the manor is in private residence, the rest remains disused.

This location has been on to do list for a while, access has been quite difficult but worth a while :) Hospital was originally constructed between 1862 and 1866 at the behest of the London Commissioners in Lunacy to provide for pauper lunatics from the London area. The buildings were designed in a Gothic brick style by James Bunstone Bunning, and the facility accommodated 220 patients. In 1924 the facility was renamed the City of London Mental Hospital, and in 1948 it was taken over by the new National Health Service and became known as Stone House Hospital. A 1998 assessment by Thames Healthcare suggested that the hospital was not suited for modern healthcare; plans for the hospital's closure were initiated in 2003. [taken from wikipedia.org]
