The hospital has always been somewhat of an interest to me. My great Grandmother worked there in the 50s as an occupational therapist, and also a family member was there as a patient . I think that as long as it stands it will ALWAYS facinate us.

who says it's on a commercial vessel? from what I gather both commercial vessels and navy are parked here. I may be mistaken though =\

Hi, Michael, I would be interested in what you have to talk about, as per your email above,

This stuff makes me think of Clive Cussler novels.

Michael, with that shirtless uniform and that hair, I'd guess you were a signalman in the 60s. Funny stuff.

Any info on the architect. That might be the only reason for the Masonic symbolism. Even the pyramid (of tables) hints at Free Masonry.

On the right side just before the second door, I see a white face..

Wow.. I'm amazed by the pics and stunned by Motts curage to go into a place like this!

The tub felt cold because stainless steel has a very high thermal conductivity, so that when something hot (you) touch it, the heat is conducted away from you (i.e. it feels cold).

Air is an insulator; it has a low thermal conductivity. Things like feathers trap air, making down warm. If the air was trapped in the room and not moving, it would feel warm.

There is absolutely nothing supernatural about a cold feeling steel object in a warm feeling room.

There were medical files left there? That would be most interesting. .. and probably unethical. Might give some clue to the age.

Twug, at the time the UK was in the depths of recession, and cheap package holidays to hi-rise hotels in Spain and Greece were also seen as a better option than UK chalet parks like this, which were associated with being quite dated, and were frequently more expensive than their Continental counterparts without the guaranteed hot weather (our maritime climate is variable, even in summer, to say the least).

Plus, the damage was eventually costed at £2 million, which added to the lost takings from the 1991 season (the park was fully catered and the restaurant, along with the site shop, lounges, bars, kids' club and most of the other indoor facilities) were destroyed or damaged enough to put them out of commission, and hence prevent bookings being honoured) quickly made the place a financial burden.

i think plans are afoot to flatten it once the asbestos has been removed from the 1960s buildings, and turn it into another dull housing estate :(

Rich, where is there around Leeds thats good for this sort of stuff? I've just moved up here, and I've been inspired by this site to go hunting.

The hospital should be a prized posession of the state, how come they are making it so illegal and hard to go and view it?

Hey man this photos are great, this boat graveyard... is it located near the Arthur Kill Road, or near the Bethel Cemetery?

This has a very sad feel to it. I wounder how many ghosts still haunt this place
