Sometimes the exploring gods are looking down on you and on this particular day I managed to somehow get around eight locations, which is something I haven't managed for some considerable time if at all in the ten years I've been exploring. This hospital was the first location and a thoroughly enjoyable wander it was, after getting in shortly after sunrise we had the place to ourselves. It's starting to show more signs of idiocy inside with numerous shitty bits of graffiti however there are still some nice areas to be seen despite it being devoid of any and all hospital furnishings.

The hospital was opened in 1910, and an extension to the original building, dedicated as a War Memorial, was opened in 1923. An Outpatients department in a separate building was constructed and opened at some point later in the 20th Century. It closed in 2017 after a new modern hospital opened nearby and is set to be demolished and replaced by a 70-bed care facility this year, although the protected War Memorial will be retained and incorporated into the new building.

As is customary for me now I only managed to snap a couple of external shots on my phone after we were out the building.

Thanks for looking

Wonderful set as always bud!!

Eight sites in a day?! Hats off to you, I think my record is 3 in a day, 5 consecutive hours in one site, 8 'splorin hours not including travel time...
Anyway, thanks for sharing another great explore, you never cease to amaze! This is one of the few hospital explores I've seen without that one lonely wheelchair; but killer shots all around!
