Cherry Knowle Hospital - Sunderland - June 2011

Last one from me for a couple of weeks. Again visited with immortal owl - whilst in the chapel heard this rustling sound - thought it was a pigeon - low and behold a head appeared just as I was taking a shot - some pigeon! - hello stanton - if you are reading this - also bumped into Catbalou later.

The head appeared in this doorway - this is an earlier photo

switch fungus - yum

It's being demo'ed at a fair old rate

internal stripping

thanks

A Hine that I've missed - I'm gutted! Unless I can get there pretty quickly by the looks of things!
A good set - thanks

Oh my Lord! We were up yesterday and will post the pix today hopefully... practically ALL the areas on these pix are gone or nearly gone now by demo work on the site. The upper floor of the chapel/theatre is almost stripped of floorboards and the entrance/admin block is just a memory.

I knew this place well, my house was just across the field from it. As well as being an asylum it was also a sort of "overflow" hospital for the main Sunderland hospitals. All the unfortunate ailing geriatrics were put there. My own grandfather died there aged 93 after a stroke in 1972.
The hospital staff had their own social club and had football and cricket pitches within the hospital grounds, when you played against the staff team ( who were in local leagues) they would bring all the mental patients out to watch the games, it was quite interesting if not a little unnerving.
I drove past a few weeks back and it looks very sad and forlorn bearing in mind the very busy place it used to be,
