    Arrow Cameron House, Whittingham Asylum-Visited July 2008

    Freebird & myself had a few hours to kill on the way to Barrow In Furness for freebirds 'keeper for a day' pressie. We wanted to call in at Whittingham on route, however, first we wasted far too long trying to access St Josephs in Preston. Much to our disappointment access was impossible & after being moved on by security we only had an hour or so remaining for Whittingham. With time limited we only accessed Cameron House & externally viewed St Johns Chapel. We got as far as the water tower but alas had overstayed our time that day!
    On with the pics...

    First a couple of St Josephs....one for the future!




    Onto Cameron House...

    A useless window


    One of the larger ground floor rooms


    A sky light above a corridor


    A view of a skylight that's not long for this world!


    Using the old 'fingers filter' for effect


    Its hard walking quietly on here!


    A rather appealing bath...mmm


    From one end of the longest corridor that runs through the block


    And from the opposite end


    A ghostly (or ghastly!) curtain


    Ok so i added my name but what the heck


    Obligatory toilet shot


    The mosaic just inside the main entrance


    These were passable with care


    We were surprised to see this intact


    A wider view of the rear of the buildings


    External of St Johns


    The water tower & the end of our day here


    We intend to get back here soon...watch this space!!

    Flickr has some more pics of mine if you fancy a peek!

    Check out Freebirds pics below.

    Cheers
