It was nice to see a place without having to sneak around, especially in another country where I might never get an opportunity to visit this particular structure ever again. Plus, it isn't really "abandoned", just not used very much, so it's kind of a different situation... but I don't mind taking the occasional tour of a real neat place like this.

It was in a different area, near the recreation / services area rather than near the living quarters.

I must be used to seeing the American standard scale that you stand on...

Yup, there was an older model at St Margaret's Hospital.

Wankarta: The hospital is located in England. Each place has a flag under the image on the locations page.

Thanks, I was using a Canon 24-70L

Yup, time capsules have been recovered at the Philadelphia and Northampton State Hospitals in the US... I wish I could see inside them all

Yup, a big ugly clock... I suppose it was useful if they used the field for recreation.

Yes, it looks like marble in the stairs... the wall to the right has original stepped brick on the bottom that was covered with what looks like a more modern latex-based paint.

dt: sadly, almost all these buildings have been demolished this past year.

Yes, it looks to be marble...

Johnnsy: The sun set around 9pm, and started coming up around 2:45am, so I would guess we woke up at 2:30... a good four hours of sleep wasn't too bad.

Thanks for the kind words :-)

Michele: no it was actually very quiet and peaceful while we slept inside... usually these places are noisy only during windy weather as windows rattle and doors slam open and shut, but that night was very calm.

Thanks! I'm pretty sure I didn't move anything around in there, as I usually don't.

Yes, but they led to an inner courtyard as the building was a square shape with a hole in the center... so there would be no need to sealing it up.

The refrigeration unit continued through the tiled wall to a room on the other side that had red brick, which was used to load and unload the cadavers.
