Chippenham Hospital

[Snips86x]

I've been driving past this beauty for a good few years now, but only recently had noticed it. Well, since I was walking home from Corsham after dropping my car off for an MOT, I decided I would take a quick peak as I've been meaning to pop in for quite some time.

Not much is know about this place, from what i can gather, it used to be part of the hospital as this was clearly visible from pearing in through the windows. There are also some outer buildinga attached the current hospital, but again like most places, no way in and I'm not willing to break anything to gain access, so these are all external shots.

Yes it is. I would love to get inside and it looks like people in the past have succeeded before it was all boarded up. There is a door below ground level by pic 7, but with an aspestos warning I'm not risking it and I'm not willing to damage anything.

Ahh yes - I remember now. I used to live in Calne and travelled to Chippenham on a weekly basis. It used to be on London Road which is now a residential area, shame it was demolished so quickly.
