Abandoned hospital, essex

[neoncity]

Diddnt have much time in here. Got round about a quarter of the hospital, only getting shots of a few of the rooms.
Not sure if this buildings going to be demolished or not. All the others around it have so cant work out why this ones been left. Cant see it being refurbished as decay is setting in.
It would be a great shame to see such a beautiful building dissapear.

Thanks to chieftain for the leg up, haha. Might not have got to see the place without him


Front of hospital, notice how the windows on either side are strangely asymmetrical

But does it have a name...?

It's not been left standing because of bats has it? they save so many buildings penned for destrcution... Barrow Gurney for example.

Interesting building, I'm surprised a substantial chunk of real estate like that is still standing in a county like Essex.

Good job there!

The furniture in pic 8 Is a hat and umbrella stand with a few bits here and there missing.

Regarding the hat stand here's a similar one to give an idea what one in good nick looks like

 

[neoncity]

Ah it's a hat and umbrella stand, makes perfect sense now. Thanks everyone

in photo 12, could this possibly be a motor for a lift? if this hospital had one that is. Very interesting explore

Photo 13 is of the remains of a pager transmitter system (type in the message and send to staff etc). I rekon its from the late 70s early 80s, but thats a guess.

Photo 12 may be of a motor for a dumb waiter system. I think a lift motor would have been bigger, and motors with moving parts for lifts were phased out by about 1996. A good UE example of this change in legislation is Aldwych Underground Station.
