The Forbidden Tour - Norwich State Hospital

I debated with myself whether or not to upload this footage, but then I decided that it's too good to waste. Shocked that my mother would want to go further into the old Norwich State Hospital premises than is meant to be allowed, I followed her to make sure she wouldn't get in trouble. I got some rather interesting footage from the outside across several buildings and near the front buildings before getting spooked by a false alarm security guard. Then we got caught in the rain, and the lulz ensued.

This won't be the last video on the property, not if I have any say on the matter...

A lot of great shots of grass, the back of that lady's sweater, weeds and trees, but not much else. Probably only 30 seconds of this video total is actually of the hospital.

@teseract It was tough getting footage as we went in guerrilla-style without a real plan. I'm glad I got anything at all. I have more footage actually inside the hospital that I'm still editing.

Wow, this is fantastic. Is it possible to get in those buildings and smash stuff up, there looks loads of stuff that can be busted up etc

[Lurdanjo]

@heelfan1234 I would not want to destroy anything inside. I love the old architecture and it inspires me greatly, so I'd rather see that preserved. Pretty much everything of value has already been taken or smashed, unfortunately.

[heelfan1234]

@Lurdanjo Good answer. The admin block is architecturally interesting and that could be preserved. There are many other buildings of little merit though. New wave urbex smashcrews would research this and allow the good parts to be spared. I feel we have achieved this well in the UK on various asylum sites.

A lot of damage can be done by block heaving. This where a large block is heaved though a wall, a floor, or a door by two or three members of the smahscrew. We call this "bloickbusters".

@heelfan1234 I gotcha. The administration building is currently being prepared for extensive renovation, while they plan to tear everything else down, which I still think is tragic. There's a lot of fascinating history and design in these buildings that have inspired me, and to see it go will be a very sad day.

Always listen to your mother! If she tells you to trespass than trespass!!!

I would come back at night with night vision and a black hoodie and sneak my way in.

@Lurdanjo When are you going to be finished editing the footage of the inside of Norwich? Thanks.
