 |  | Stirling Royal Infirmary - The Mortuary
< on 10/28/2013 12:59 PM >
|  | | | Finally decided to join your site, so be gentle with my first post 
For once in my exploring life I was spot on with timing for getting a Mortuary.
All the morgues North of the border are always slabless when we eventually get to them. Further still when we do find the odd slab lying around..... they tend to be Stainless Steel or other odd metals. The latest one Cuban decided to phone me about was a place we had been keeping tabs on for a long long time. Stirling Royal Infirmary. For the last 3 years we have all known that both Stirling and Falkirk Royals have been earmarked for closure due to a new Super Hospital being built in nearby Larbert. Rumours have came and went and the decision was made to demo the majority of them and replace with small cCommunity Hospitals. Sadly we missed Falkirk (but it helped here). When I popped to Falkirk it was covered in CCTV, Smart Water and two pairs of security. Moving in 6 months it was time to see how Stirling was moving on. Pretty well it seems. 
The hospital is mostly closed now, with some small parts being used .... minory injury and on call facilities etc. Appears from signage mostly closed within the last two weeks.
Anyways me and Cuban decided to go for it, circumnavigating the CCTV everywhere we found some access..... into a damn basement. Waste of time there and no pics. A few minutes later and my entry skills found an unlocked door.... moving inside Cuban came sprinting back to the door in a panic.....apparently the lights all switched on .... turns out they were PIR activated lights. DOH! haha. Well anyway we waited and no sign of anyone so we popped inside to get some shots. Turns out the records are being stored there .... so a few shots were taken.....
Before we started venturing further..... we ended up inside a live corridor (a damn nice one to be honest)
We were to be honest getting a little lax here but at the same time as the place was still open at that time of night and it was a live section we were in .... it wasnt too bad. We walked into some other corridor to see a PIR flashing furiously and more lights coming on. This one though was different to the rest so we stopped for a few minutes discussing it. I had just said to Cuban that I bet theres a camera behind this mirror .....
....Right behind me was the PIR corridor.... when we heard two voices and some shuffling in the big corridor. We just stood where we were as the way out was back along the big corridor...... when two rather bemused looking security blokes turned up. A quick chat and they asked how we got in as we hadnt walked past them at the front door and they had been watching us on a camera for a few minutes. :lol: Turns out I was right and there is a big camera behind that mirror :lol: They were rather happy to get some action for once in their job. Well they told us to have a wander around the outside but stay out of the building. Good guys for a change. I recognised one from Falkirk when I went for a Reccie six month ago.
Well we walked away taking some externals of the older bits of the place..... in full view of the CCTv this time...
We then clearly on CCTV walked off the site......before quietly coming back on out of view ....
Making a beeline for the mortuary we had clocked earlier we quickly worked out a way inside, comforted by the fact that there was no power in this block as its being stripped for demo. Our desperation to get in here was caused by the faint outline of a slab through the frosted windows....
It is definately being stripped, all the wood and metal has pretty much been stripped....but when you walk through some rubble and into this rooom ...... it made the whole night worthwhile....
Two lovely porcelain slabs. We concluded that these slabs must be from the older part of the hospital and been reused when the morgue was rebuilt in the 70s.
Enough gibbering now and on with some more shots of those slabs .....
And a lovely set of scales for weighing body parts...
The fridges were all intact too ..... 24 of them
of which six were Police fridges ....
Not much else to see as its pretty stripped ...but still goooood!
One last shot before we made a swift exit
Enjoy folks
