We Found a HUGE Abandoned Army rehabilitation hospital

/ @vacanthaven
Headley Court was an Army rehabilitation centre for injured service personnel between 1985 and 2019.
Originally the Mansion was built for the former Bank of England chairman Lord Cunliffe in 1899, during WW2 it was used by the VII Corps and the Canadian Corps before being purchased by the RAF.
Unfortunately the site has now been decommissioned and the majority of the site is now being readied for demolition!

Thanks for your support guys. But sometimes you got to have a break from those too. You don't realise how hard they are to work with. But I'll have them like I love you lot. Thank you for your support. See you next week.🤙🤙🤙🙏

Everyone deserves a break from time to time even if you enjoy something, taking a break means you don't get burnout! We will be here when you get back, enjoy your vacation and Happy Valentines Day! ❤😊

[@dazzbedford68]

Wow amazing place. Im guessing the MOD and Govt pulled funds and thats why its closed. Shame such large buildings are left abandoned when theres so many homeless, both civilian and ex-military

[@stuartfletcher2378]

Totally blown away by the whole place , That was fantastic , Saved it to watch again , Thanks to you Alex and Ned for taking this place on , words cant express how beautiful and how vast it was . Always in awe of the places you find , Till next one , Stuart in Canada ..

[@VacantHaven]

Cheers Stuart, appreciate the kind words mate, have a great week 👍

[@DebiElford-xv1cd]

Thank you Alex & Ned, what an 57:36 awesome find. Being ex RAN ( Royal Australian Navy- intelligence), it's saddens me to see such a beautiful building and a very needed complex for vets, being demolished. 😔 Thanks for showing us the complex, another great explore. Miss Ed , perhaps he will be in the next one 👍 take care of yourselves guys. Debbi from Western Australia. 😁X

Great explore Guy's. Here's a bit of history ; After almost 70 years of treating injured servicemen and women, the last staff members left in September 2018, and Headley Court was sold to Angle Property in May 2019 who planned on building a significant amount of housing on the site, and most likely demolishing the majority of the existing buildings. A friend of mine worked there in the 1990's and had told me it's a big set-up and at the time was very busy. The replacement facility is at Stanford Hall near Loughborough.

[@VacantHaven]

Thank you for the info, very interesting 👍

[@CameronMcCreary]

It is nice that you folks didn't run into the watchman. Great view. It is a place that could be renovated.

[@Gaggle_of_gays]

Just casually strolling in and out the main entrance past security lol

[@fayking9811]

That looks like a good one tonight guy's very promising hopefully it's nice inside as the same outside seeing you later guy's 🤘🤙🤘🤙🤘

[@kittymisshello]

I'm looking forward to this one !! xx-me !!

[@davidgillard4995]

Being an Australian Veteran, I hope they are building a new rehab centre for your Vets. Lots of history in that building though.

[@VacantHaven]

Apparently they acquired a new site up near Nottingham, which is good to hear!

[@msuddaby9958]

looking forward to this one guys

I imagine the main house and stables will be made into luxury flats or terraces.

That place was HUGE! You needed more time there to see it all and record it before they destroy it. Thank you, Alex, and Ned, great explore. Maybe if security was not lurking around you could have got more of it.

There are so many abandoned buildings it’s a surprise as I’m new to this channel I didn’t know how many there were✌️❤️🇬🇧

[@richardphelan8414]

Good show mates ,imagine what it looked like back in the day when it was occupied Brilliant

[@rebeccabailey9258]

Frm USA. The industrial blgds were interesting. Cages reminded me of my first apartment as we had those down in storage. The outside of the hospital was beautiful British architecture. Loved the details on the outside of the windows, the windows themselves and the detail on the ‘driveway’. This is the construction so many Americans cherish and would love to see here in our country. Hate that they tear these bldgs. down in the UK. Why don’t we still build like this? So much care in the past to detail, why did it stop? So very sad! Loved the pool area and the outside pillars & pergola! Always so appreciate you showing the ‘guts’ of the bldgs! Huge place and so much wasted potential! Thank you so much for sharing this wonderful explore! You boys always find the best locations!

[@susanholly2456]

Great explore guys, the place was huge. I look forward to these on Sunday. Nice chill vibe today with just the two bros. Cheers

[@grannieannie162]

Just catching up now will share to fb ❤

[@KevandPerry2]

That'll be interesting. 🤔 wonder if there will be any clock tiowers for 'spidermam Alex" to climb 😂😂 I had an uncle in the RAF WWII. Flew spit fires squadron leader...what what. Ole chap. And all that😂😂

[@jennycampbell5236]

Hi guys. The outside of the original home is beautiful. It's a damn shame when governments waste public money on those works and then let it rot or dismantle it. It could have become a whole community for people. Pools, hospitals, housing and country air. Such a waste. good find. 💌

[@maverickflint1991]

So that means pool can also be used as extra space for functions with raisable floor.👍

[@lissanne9769]

The last part of this video was truly incredible. That old building had some amazing rooms and walls. It was once a very gorgeous place. Wished we could have seen more of it. The inscription to the old prison has to be one of the most interesting parts of this video. To bad about the security guard, but glad you were not caught. For all of the soldiers who were transferred here, it was probably a good experience (except the pain) to have a warm room, and an exercise physicality. The vandalism is sad to see in the outbuildings. There sure were a lot of out buildings added on to the incredible mansion land. I hope it will be renovated, otherwise it's a terrible loss. Sure missed Eddie. Thanks so much for the amazing tour, Alec and Ned. ❤❤❤

[@hazelduerdoth4333]

Shame these sort of places have to close especially when you think of the good work that used to happen there and respect to all our service men and women ❤️❤️

[@Hitam124]

Headless Court was replaced by Stanford Hall near Loughborough. The new facility is bang up to date and three times larger.

[@nannyofmany8315]

Thoroughly enjoyed that explore. Brought back many memories of my young childhood just before we were to be sent abroad to live. Was a beautiful Mansion in its day I bet. I wonder what they will do to the premises now. It’s going to be an expensive renovation project. I reckon possible demolition - our historical places are rapidly disappearing. What a shame. Brilliant Video Alex and Eddie - twins. Well well well. Yes it’s obvious once you know lol 😜😂🤣

[@maverickflint1991]

The room with the fireplace would be the cigar room.👍

Really good vid thanks, that old building was amazing.

[@shozzy69]

I actually stayed there a few times for treatment, the last time I stayed there was when it was starting to close and it moved up country. The rumour I got told was it was given to the military back many years ago for a pound I believe and it was on a lease and it was running out. I believe they was then going to build houses on it. The smaller pool is where we used to do rehab in as it was very hot. The first gym you went into had exercise machines at one end then we used to do games in the other, badminton etc. it also had a dart board in there. The big pool was always freezing as it was so big and yes the floor could be raised so easy to stand on floor. They used to do the cinema on a Monday night as entertainment when we had to stay there but the roof started to leak so stoped it The building at the end that you said you had not gone in is the mental health department on the right. The accommodation where we had to stay was on the other side of the road for info

Love all of your exploring...I'm looking for some more,have watched all so far. Guess I'm addicted to blast from the past...❤

[@dragonlord0666]

what would be fun is if you had those trackers on you and then looked back at the end as to where you actually walked, yes you'd possibly have to hide any location data but would be fun to see where you roamed during the explore

[@VacantHaven]

It would be interesting, and to think we still had a whole other side to explore as well 😬

[@dragonlord0666]

it could be interesting on most of your explores not just this one - of course the bigger the space the more you h ave to roam LOL

6:10 is either for storing Compressed Gas Bottles(!) or it could be some sort of Faraday Cage or _Containment Cage_ of some description! Truly Great explore! I must say, out of the vast majority of other 'High End' Explorers like yourself(!) that you are one of The Most Respectful Urbexers on KZbin. You get some that are that thick, they don't realise they are being disrespectful but even when you've done 'Collab's', you have shone above the rest! Example?! Was it the RNAS Copenacre Site, where we had a real mix! Ones _Voice_ and _Actions_ were obnoxious but you stayed civil throughout. Fair play mate!

[@VacantHaven]

Thank you very much for the nice words, very kind! Glad you enjoy my take on the urbex scene, we really do enjoy what we do and try to be as respectful as possible 😀👍
