Saint Luke’s started a shutdown process in 2007 and finally closed fully to the public on the 22nd of December 2010. Mainly providing Neuro rehabilitation care, associated Occupational therapy, post cardiac disease rehabilitation.
Based in and around the buildings of a former workhouse, the site is stepped over quite steep level changes. A three storey cruciform of 200m long glazed corridors serve and link the 1960’s blocks to the surrounding Victorian conversions.
I first visited here in November last year, the chapel, main hall and corridors were still pretty much intact - Between then and now, the place has been totally trashed, the chapels 1960s stained glass window has been smashed, all roof lights in the main hall and windows in the corridors have collapsed or been smashed.
I was reluctant to revisit here to be honest, reports of police activity and the usual metal monkeys are pretty rife - But what the hell, I was passing, and this was most definitely going to be my last trip to Saint Luke’s.
As always, thanks for looking
