Birkwood Children's Hospital

[corn_flake88]

I visited Birkwood this afternoon, it was a nice day for it
I didn't realise the scale of this hospital site, I thought it would just be one or two buildings, safe to say I was pleasantly surprised!!

I can't find much info on the place, the main building dates from 1856, although an extension has been added on in 1890.

Front Entrance
That's a caravan you can see on the right, I'm guessing it's for security, although no-one was in it.

The security used to be based inside but it was getting a bit foosty even a few years ago. It's nice to see some shots from this place, it's been off the radar for a while.
