Cheshire County Asylum

15th March 2008

Visited with BenWRX Speed and Rooks.
I had seen a few reports but this place was better and bigger than i had imagined. Some of the front building have started to be demolished so i am not sure how long this place has left. Our visit was cut a bit short but we still had a good look around.
