USAF Hospital

A local site to me, part of the communal side of the massive air base nearby. Currently in the process of being demolished.

This hospital was the last building to be constructed on the communal side of the air base in 1980. It served the air base's personnel as well as civilians in the village and surrounding rural area. The fully operational, perfectly useable hospital closed in 1994 along with the rest of the base so has laid derelict for longer than it was in active service.

I originally explored this place way back in 2009 but not long after that visit the only access point was securely welded shut and it lay sealed for four years until, on a whim, I went back for a nose around last year and found a route in that required a lot of contortion...and I'm glad I did. The ground floor (first floor for you Americans) was totally pitch black as some time after closure all the windows had been removed and bricked up. The upstairs was light but the patient rooms around the edges had the only windows, the innards were a maze of pitch black rooms and corridors very easy to get lost in as everything was interconnected.

Days after I visited this time the access point was sealed even more securely than before, and the last I heard was there was a digger parked in the front entrance and everything had been ripped out.

It also has the dubious honour of being the ugliest looking building I have ever explored.

As you will see this place was a real exercise in light painting skills!





























Thanks for looking

You're not diagnosed by those, those are lights.

Oxfordshire in the UK. Part of one of the biggest airfields in the country which instead of being populated by the RAF was populated by the US Air Force from the Second World War up to it's closure in 1994.

To be fair I thought I had said it wasn't in America in the original post which I hadn't!
