I love this old building so much history, and the excitement of hiding from the security guard, kept me on the edge of my seat. You guys are awesome, can't wait for the next adventure!

Thanks for showing us places most of us will never have the opportunity to go, keep up the great work!

Infamous in Portsmouth and surrounding areas this place is. Great to see inside, well done lads 👌

[@desertrose6100]

Great episode. I bet a lot of bad happened there with the masons… it’s a repetitive pattern in every asylum

[@jonescrusher1]

Like what?

[@timpavloff1567]

This reminds me of Scooby-Doo when they were chased through the same doors. Definitely some mysteries to be solved in that building.

[@maverickflint1991]

Boggles the mind how they can build such big places.👍

[@pauldurkee4764]

Not a million miles away was the old Netley military hospital, that was the daddy of all hospitals. Ive read that when the American army used Netley in WW2, the corridors were so big, they drove jeeps up and down to save walking.

[@Trish1]

What a fantastic find and good that you returned with the others! A real maze of rooms and corridors - cat and mouse chase - glad you didn’t get caught😓 Knew you’d be up through the loft hatch - Ninja Alex at his best 🤣 Nice to see inside before it all gets redeveloped - thanks for a great video 👍👍

[@kathpayne4364]

What an awesome explore, parts of the building were beautiful. Loved the clock tower, thanks for taking us along with you.

Ha! What a fun channel. A couple of guys sneaking around old buildings ditching security .Reminds me of being a kid

[@clarepartrick1066]

That was really good find, very nearly came close to being caught, very eerie in places look forward to the next one .👌💕

[@Andyjzr]

Best of these video's I've seen. I couldn't do this because I'd end up in fits of laugher once security were on my case. Just wouldn't be able to help myself. On a more serious note, really interesting exploration at a hospital with a long history. Thoroughly enjoyed it. Cheers.

[@sharonleong7120]

I will be watching it later as always. It will be an interesting exploration once again. Loved it too. Thanks Alex.👍👍👍😍😍😍

[@susiesnarey8442]

I think that its wonderful how you always do research on the buildings that you explore if you can. It gives that much more insight on the properties. I really have been enjoying your videos.

[@VacantHaven]

Glad you're enjoying the adventures Susie and thank you for the comments. Plenty for you to catch up on as well 😁👍

[@allanbrewer3898]

It’s so sad to see old buildings like these being pulled down and destroyed for new ones to replace them great work guys in showing use this video

[@VacantHaven]

It really is considering how much this served the local community.

[@allanbrewer3898]

@@VacantHaven yes I used to be a nurse and the hospital I worked in they closed so many sections down and it only had one floor running and it was used for a rehabilitation program but they are now doing it back up and reopening it back into a normal hospital again they found that they needed more beds as all the other hospitals are full I’m glad that they are doing this as it was still fairly modern inside.

[@susiesnarey8442]

I agree with you. I find it so sad how some developers have no care what so ever about historical things. They call it progress which I think is bull crap but at the same time they are erasing important history by all their destruction . I have seen it so many times in some cities that I have lived in. One day all will be lost and that is sad

[@kimciesielski8279]

[@xhesicadx]

Cool explore. Loving the channel It was weird hearing you say the hospital is old, Im from canada and we have functional in use hospitals here in similar conditions. If that was here, they would probably still be using it. The hospital i had my eye surgery in the other week, was so old they still had the old school marble walls & decorative molded ceilings. The old "air tube" message system was still there, but locked off. I snuck around the ancient creepy basement before getting caught and claiming I got lost looking for the cafeteria lol

Back in 1991 we used to go to the Holloway sanatorium in Virginia water, it had been abandoned for many years,but we used to get in and spend hours exploring it,it was absolutely massive we also found padded cell's, the sheer size of this place was totally insane, pardon the pun,i believe it closed in 1980,it was a stunning gothic building, it was fully renovated in the mid to late 90's,it had huge stone staircases,tapestry on the walls the list goes on, really getting in to your channel, absolutely brilliant,and huge room's with rows of beds in.

[@lespauloruke]

Im sure that was the place American writer Bill Bryson worked at. He talks about it in his book The Road to Little Dribbling. A great book.

Morning Guy's, Just stumbled across this video. Great walk through although a bit sketchy with the guards! Brought back loads of great memories as i was an Estates officer here between 1998-2002. Just a quick cautionary note to all. Some of the basement areas were riddled with asbestos even brown so please observe any signage if you go down. Keep up the good work.

@@S.D_asined Are you thick ! The freemasons are not a satanic organisation I joined the masons over 30 years ago and they are the exact opposite . The masons are an organisation that has secrets not a secret organisation . The masons raise money for hospitals which is probably why there is a masonic lodge in the building . It is a real shame that the chairs and the staffs cannot be donated to a surviving lodge
