Maternity/mental health hospital Worcestershire March 2013.
This Hospital was built in 1929 as a Maternity Hospital. In later years it was proposed that the area adjacent would be developed into a center for disabled and mentally ill children to work together with Lea Castle hospital, however this idea was seen as innapropriate right next to a maternity hospital so plans where squashed...instead further buildings/hostals/assesment units where arrected for the use of mentally ill adults with in the community, also on site is a mortuary., an isolation clinic and a lodge.
I had no idea on the history so copied from Ninja Kittens report hope you don't mind, and that report can be seen here :- http://www.derelictplaces.co.uk/main/showthread.php?t=20869#.UTUXe1ehSM0
Been looking to visit for a age now even when walking passed it with the family and seeing a access point, wanting to jump the fence and have a mooch but the look on my other half's face told me not to, as this was a family trip not a urbex jaunt, but the temptation was there none the less , "ha ha see ya kids daddy found something else to do" while bounding over a fence, that would've gone down well
.
Anyway got there in the end, a solo vist on the way back from another explore, looks a lot more chaved from when NK went and no police for me, was a pretty relaxed explore.
Thanks for taking the time to look.
