Cambridge Military Hospital

[chelle]

This hospital was built on a hill overlooking the town supposedly with the thinking of the day being that the wind would sweep any infection away and clean the air!This a is trip round the perimeter done with permission with no internals...asbestos is prevellant so they say.

Good pictures Chelle, that clock tower is very stately, the rest of the buildings look a bit drab though. It looks like a stately home in a village of huts from the pictures

agreed, this place looks great, and that clock tower is mint. very, very nice. good pics too. nice to find the security there easier to deal with than most places.

Well I was a bit naughty and mine was a non-legit visit buit here's some photos-the clock was stunning but smelt sooo bad!

Nice pics, Chelle & Pagan.
I rather like the mortuary building; from that angle you can see that it's got quite an interesting shape (wouldn't like to see inside, though, I must admit).
Like the clock and bay window photos too.
Cheers both

Sadly there's no access to the mortuary because its very close to the live barracks

Isn't it suprising how some security people are easily swayed. A lot of places I've been to the security haven't mided pics as long as you stay outside the fence, thats where a set of stepladders comes in handy to get above the fence.
Only wish I'd have got to a factory near me a while back before it got knocked down. 1930s building with art deco frontage. Council vandalism at its best
