The Crown

Stotfold is a small town and civil parish in Bedfordshire, England. Stotfold is thought to have gained its name from the northern drovers breaking their journey south at this point on the A1 Great North Road and penning their horses in enclosures before continuing their journeys southwards. The River Ivel runs through the town. Stotfold covers 2,207 acres and the population at the 2001 census was 6,190.

4. The Crown Stotfold
To commemorate British and Irish gold medal winners at the 2012 Summer Olympics and 2012 Summer Paralympics, various post boxes in the home towns of the medal winners around the United Kingdom, plus one each on Sark and the Isle of Man, were repainted gold. It marked the first occasion in modern times that the colour of post boxes in the United Kingdom had been changed from their traditional red. Originally intended to be a temporary measure, due to the positive public response it was later decided the colour change would become a permanent tribute, with boxes additionally receiving their own special plaques.

YOU WON'T BELIEVE THIS - Inside Abandoned & Haunted Fairfield Hills State Hospital

Turn your volume up. The banging is at the end. This is the second time we have heard banging during our trip to Fairfield Hills. As you can see at the end when we're leaving in a panic, the doors which were all wide open during our entry were closed.

Directly after the banging, my camera battery went onto LOW, our cell phones died, and upon exit, our flashlight no longer worked. This was filmed in 2009. Since then, I'm fairly certain the buildings featured have been completely torn down.

UPDATE:

We just got into the building from :16 - :31 (Norwalk Hall). ALSO, went inside the Power Plant located off FFH main property.

Fairfield Hills once held over 4,000 mentally unstable patients. The building's original beauty is only masked by the scars of mother nature and recent vandalism. The asylum lost its accreditation in 1994 and slowly closed down its over 25 campus-style buildings.

Today, much of the site is under construction and renovation to create municipal town buildings. The area is patrolled by one security guard in a blue truck - who really doesn't do much.

This time, three of us entered through Litchfield House, where we discovered a passage to the underground tunnels. They were just as magnificent as we had hoped and we followed them to Yale Laboratory (the morgue). It was completely pitch black and the echoes from your shuffling feet tended to play mind games with you. I hope you enjoy your tour of them.

Yale Lab has been virtually untouched - only a few remnants from vandals were there. I was surprised at how good of shape it was in. We found the autopsy tables, body coolers, and bio-hazardous sinks. We left the building and headed back to the tunnels when we all agreed we felt like we shouldn't be there.

We practically speed walked back to Litchfield House (the drug ward) and went back up to the second floor, where we heard banging during our last visit. I turned my camera off, and immediately there was banging from the other end of the hallway. Luckily, I was fast enough to catch it the second time, merely half as loud as usual - but STILL on camera.

Needless to say, we ran out of there after that.

We went in not to ghost hunt, or to vandalize, but to see the building's beauty masked behind years of neglect.

Please, if you go into any abandoned facilities, treat them with respect. They've been around a lot longer than you have.

PS. I edited this while having close to a 102 degree fever. Yeah...when I got home from FFH, I had a fever.

Leicester Square London 090312 (60pics;1min)

London is so big, and so interesting, that one must take it in small pieces. Leicester Square is at the edge of Soho, and Piccadilly Circus, concentrated in a small area that is one of the tourist spots no one should miss when visiting London. It changes all the time, of course. I went there again last week to meet a friend from San Diego for dinner. This is my 1-minute glimpse!
