Oldchurch Hospital Remaining Building - Late May 2012

Visited solo, twice... Once very early and once quite late in the evening, both times made photos a bit difficult (for me) so please excuse the quality. I know these have been seen before, but I like to share still

This history of the place is already well documented, but it's quite an experience to stand with such a nice old derelict building on one side and brand new appartments being built (with people living in them already) on the other side, and even more being built right infront of you. It's very sad to see, and a bit surreal. As you can see in some of the photos you cant escape the new and old in the same shots.

The remaining workhouse building is in a bad state, most windows are broken, pigeons everywhere and the place stinks (mask needed!) and I'd love to know what the future is for it. I've googled but havent found anything to say what is going to happen to this last building. Currently it is surrounded by a high wooden fence and is seemingly being ignored while building takes place all around it, but what happens afterwards, the wooden fence cant stay there, and it's too dangerous to just leave there.









































And since everyone seems to love staircase shots, here's a few












And yes, I did park on double yellow lines...
