Atkinson Morley hospital

[scoobs]

We made a trip down to London a few weeks back to do a bit of exploring and decided to spend a few hours in Atkinson Morley hospital.The place is pretty much trashed and the mortury slab had gone,which was a bit of a disapointment.

Atkinson morley hospital was first opened in 1869 and remained open till around 2003.The place is best known for the first hospital to use a CT scan which was first used in 1972.

Oh and we did have one funny moment when we was about to open a door to one of the rooms inside the hospital and realized the door was to the security office, which would have put an early ending to our explore lol.
Anyway heres the pictures.

No, we never saw the CT scanner unfortunately.Weather that was because we had taken a wrong turn
somewhere and just missed it, or wheather it had been taken out i dont know.

 

[bobkeyte]

good info and good report well done

 

[drypulse]

the CT scanner was next door to the room that you took a picture of the x-ray machinery. but it is easily missed. i hope it is still there!

That CT scanner must be worth a fortune.I'm surprised they ever left a piece of equipment worth that much in the 1st place.

 

[scoobs]

Yeah you right,it must be worth a few quid.
I find it amaizing that the NHS can aford to leave such equitment when they are always complaining about lack of money,seems such a waste.

Am I the only one finds the layout of this place to be vaguely disconcerting? Soylent Green anyone?

I enjoy dystopian films and I also like the song Soylent Green. This place looked almost untouched when you guys visited.

Welcome to DP Jaf,I was wondering how things were progressing there...was led to believe it was being converted to a Bupa hospital.
