Went cycling recently with my brother, on the way to the trails from his house passed through a new housing estate which has been build on the grounds of the old St.Crispins mental hospital in northampton.

Cycling through it all it looks like a really nice area, its been built for a couple yeas already but theyre still developing. When you drive along into northampton near the area all you can see is this bell tower above everything ( photos in a sec )

Some of the old buildings have been redeveloped into flats / appartments and they've done a pretty decent job. Now considering that, would you want to open up your curtains every morning to this..... weird as flipping when you heard the plastic coverings on the windows flapping around and nothing else!

Its boarded up around most of it and all that has been developed around it is properly fenced off, this bit though is free to look at ( obviously you cant go in but if anyones ever been on 28dayslater- Urban exploration then theres some photo thread Here and Here where you can look at whats inside it all! ( Also make sure you have lots of spare time, spent 6 hours on there when i first went on it some of the explorations on that site are phenomenal!

Also a few of my car Sorry had to be done!
