    Default Abandoned care home, orrell wigan, january 3rd 2013

    Hello this is a abandoned old folks home that i came across while working in orrell wigan.
    its been stood abandoned since sometime in 2011 and the vandals have ruined it and burned some of it down but most of it is still standing. And its 3 storys high.
    So like u do, i jumped out of the work van, stuck my hi viz vest on, grabbed my camera and went for it.


    I cant find nothing at all about the history of the buildings, its got a large building and a few outer buildings.
    i hope you enjoy the pics





























    And here are a few pics of the fire damaged section of the buildings













    you can find the rest of my pics here http://www.flickr.com/photos/sherman30
    Thanks for looking
    exploring in manchester ?

    Looks like a proper wreck, nice work though boss.


    My camera bag weighs far too much for these poor quality photos: My Flickr
