Broughton Hospital

[lost]

I visited Broughton last weekend with melvin26bmx, but my photos turned out pretty rubbish due to Tayside Police stealing my tripod. Here are some photos from the first visit, with wolfism, pincheck and Cuban Bloodhound.

After a tiring very early morning explore in the summer we headed to Broughton, knackered. Looking at the outside I wasn't expecting much, but I was very wrong.

The hospital is crammed full of goodies like this, er, penis pump

And stacks of quality records

I think this is some kind of cobbling machine, there were two but they've gone now

Period snaps of the library

'Iron Lung'

Hatches

Maker's plate

Cut-off corridor suggesting there was more to the hospital. The operating theatre is stripped out unfortunately

X-ray table

Oh, hello!

Why is that Max Bygraves record still there????? I'd have thought it would have been recycled as a frisbee yonks ago.

Not only 1, but we found another Max Bygraves record last weekend. They seem to be a bit of a hospital staple, as I've found more copies at another hospital.

Love the old snaps!!
I remember i thought the iron lung was actually a model of a lung made from iron and when Wolfism was excited about it i was like, err ok, it's just a wee lung!!!
DId you go to the famous Broughton shoppie again wich sells the xxx mags?

Ummm, it's a bit far to travel from Oxford. Especially if you can't drive. It would take you days on a bike.

Very nice

They stole your tripod, have you reported the them?

 

[Seahorse]

I think Lost forgot to put "allegedly" in the sentence.

A few things have changed. The penis pump and other things out of that room have been moved elsewhere. The cobbler's machines have gone.

The did steal my tripod, wonder why they bothered since you can buy a new one from Tesco for a tenner.

Hehe

Lost – your photos came out very well, nos. 2 and 3 really capture the feel of the place. I'm saying nothing about Tayside Police … :§

How to get rid of your record collection and pass it off as the hospitals. Yes yes, we know.
I've been trying to get rid of my Donny Osmond and Cliff Richard collection this way many times.
