High Royds Mental Asylum, Menston, West Yorkshire.

High Royds closed in early 2003, however the site is in use as a film set. All power is still connected and lights are often on. The security of the site is very good, white vans (5 +) patrol the roads around the site often and i was stopped many times and asked what i was doing. Although they let me carry on, i managed to get a few interior shots.

Below are a selection of images taken on my digital camera, i currently have over 200 photos of the site on a standard camera with colour and black and white film. I will update these pictures shortly.
