About me: Hello there, is this where I'm supposed to tell you all about myself? I never know what to write in these things;
I am a 114 year old mental hospital just outside the village of Ryhope in Sunderland. Construction started in 1893 and I opened in 1895. I originally had the grand title of 'Sunderland Lunatic Asylum' but that was changed to the less fearsome 'Cherry Knowle Hospital' in 1948, political correctness gone mad I say. For over a cenutry I was home to the country's most insane characters and witnessed some proper horror film shit. Still, they were happy times at least they were never boring.
I was closed down in 1998 due to mounting bad vibes and legal investigations. For years nobody paid any attention to me but when the public found out some of the horrendous activities that went on deep in my bowels it was the beginning of the end. To be fair, a certain amount of patients did die in mysterious circumstances and some were found to have suffered what the newspapers were calling 'torture'. Maybe it was wrong but it's not my fault all the staff were sadistic, cold hearted twats.
For the last 9 years, I've been slowly falling apart. I just sit quietly and occasionally have my crevices broken and entered by inquisitive young hoodlums. No sooner was I closed down some opportunistic fuckers pinched all the lead off my roof. I do still enjoy day long sunshine and a nice view of the north sea but I never see any real action anymore.
Oh how I miss the hilarious antics of my spackas.
Who I'd like to meet: Joiners, plumbers, roofers and sparkys. I am the architectural equivalent of Ozzy Osbourne and need sorting out.
oooh cherrryyy..me n a group of my friends come 2 c u yesterday ..wel 2day since it was past 12am... thers a massive fence all the way round..and ther was these 2 wankers of security guards that went wild on us! get it sorted! evry1 wants to come c you!! we love you cherry knowles =D xxxxx
Thanks for the add... how the hell can we get inside you now that they've put a fence around u and boarded u up with metal sheets? Has anyone made it past?
Well this security guard looks like a bald pikey, he even has a little green pikey van he sits in. You need to do something about this. x i promise i dont smoke crack, my friend phil does though x
My friends and I were going to explore you the other day, keep you company - but there is this stupid pegasus security thing all set up now, with a big baldy man that would not let us in, I even pretended I was an art student wanting to take photos, but apparantly you are "too dangerous". Maybe you could let one of your old tiles fall off and donk him on the head so we can slip past. What do u think ? xx
