“The Camp” Part 2
Return to this one to finish off the sections we missed back in October last year. Absolute massive site, however still not sharing that location 😉

“The Surgery”
Not much to report on this one, only it hasn’t been reported before. Abandoned some time around Christmas 2014 this doctors surgery was used to aid people with learning difficulties as well as those with psychosis.

RAF Daws Hill
American military forces were first stationed at High Wycombe in 1942, shortly after the United States’ formal entrance into the Second World War. So urgent was the action that Wycombe Abbey School, situated on the land that would become the station, was given three weeks to find new facilities; failure in this effort led to the school’s closing, until the independent girl’s school was returned by the US in 1945.
A revisit and re-explore on this site covering the bits missed previously. But just in case you missed our previous report, here’s the history again.
Derbyshire Royal Infirmary (DRI) was established in 1810 on land formerly part of Derby’s Castlefield estate on land near what is now Bradshaw Way and the A6 London Road. It was known as the Derbyshire General Infirmary at the time. In 1890 a Typhoid outbreak sweeped through the hospital, and the buildings design was blamed.

Not much history on this one, or more so none we would like to share anyway 😉 Also testing out our new DSLR on this trip!

“Cold Christmas” Church
The derelict remains of St Mary’s and All Saints Church is situated in rural Thundridge, Hertfordshire. Although the building is Grade II listed all that remains is the old stone tower and abandoned graveyard.
These ruins are often known to the locals as Cold Christmas Church, adopting the name of the nearby village of the same name.

North Weald Redoubt
Unfortunately a a semi failed attempt as the site is now near totally under water and without scuba gear or at least some very good waders, there was no entrance to the tunnels or any rooms at all. With the extent of flooding we cannot imagine it will ever be accessible.

Denbigh Asylum
The North Wales Lunatic Asylum was the first psychiatric institution built in Wales; construction began in 1844 and completed in 1848 in the town of Denbigh. The U-shaped Tudorbethain style hospital was built due to the spreading word of mistreatment of Welsh people in English asylums; The North Wales Hospital would be a haven for welsh speaking residents to seek treatment without prejudice or a language barrier.

Picardy
Not much information on this one and not going to share too much. A lonely little “shack”, as I like to call it, located somewhere in Essex that amazingly I drove past every single day and didn’t even notice it until a fellow urbexer pointed it out to me.
Good little explore and was great to kill half an hour, there wasn’t too much to see other than the “shack” itself which was in a pretty bad way.
