Good stuff. Nice to see these, really like seeing old photos of places

mr_bones · Apr 5, 2008

That is absolutely awesome, i am stunned to see those photos, would you like some comparison shots to be put up?

Great first post, welcome!

indy · Apr 5, 2008

cheers mate,
thats great...got any more?

redrum · Apr 5, 2008

cheers all, would love to see some comparison shots, i have a very limited set of shots from west park from 2006. unfortunately these 5 were the only images i could find.

mr_bones · Apr 5, 2008

In order of original images...

Unfortunately, don't have any decent pictures of the kitchens :neutral:

2 of admin

Slightly different tower view

Hall:

and from the other end

WOW, what a difference between the old pics and the new. I love the old picture of the visiting room, and love the new pic of the same place too. The hall looked magnificent in its day, and sadly, the new pics are totally different. Virtually nothing left of the main hall. Admin looked amazing in its day too, and it still looks gorgeous even now.

Cheers for the old pics Redrum, and cheers Mr B for the new ones.

Echo that! :mrgreen:

It's always interesting to see 'then and now' pics. Although it's sad to see how far gone it is now, they really are superb pics Mr B.

You are welcome Sal, and glad you like them too Foxy. I am well impressed at the photos you laid your hands on Redrum, had never even noticed the mock pillars surrounding the main entrance of admin until i saw your photo (with no ivy)

there are always ways and means

Nice to see those, espcially for the folks that have spent many hours wandering through those spots.

Thanks.

glad you all enjoyed those pics, i have to say that it was quite a buzz finding them, i have a soft spot for west park as it was my first explore back in 2006.

redrum · Apr 6, 2008

i'll hijack my own thread with a couple of my favourites from wp......

Yeah, similar, West Park was my first hospital explore in December 2003 so it is always nice to see archive pics.
