Maiden Law Mortuary
A little history…
There doesn’t seem to be much online history about this hospital, so here is all I could find out. Maiden Law Hospital was built as an Infectious Diseases Hospital in County Durham. Its construction began in 1939 but it wasn’t completed until 1945 due to the outbreak of The Second World War. During the 80’s various sections of the hospital became surplus to requirements so began to shut down, until it was finally closed in the mid 1990’s.
The mortuary is a small stand-alone building away from the main hospital blocks. Within the grounds of the site remains the home of the active Willow Burn Hospice, so I never took any external photographs of the other hospital buildings as I didn’t want to disturb anybody.
