Date founded: 1884 Date opened: 1888

The site is currently owned by the English Partnerships, plans have been submitted for outline planning permission to comprehensively redevelop the Kingsway Hospital site, incorporating housing, employment, retail and open space. It includes the demolition of the existing buildings; the erection of 700 dwellings; business units, retail units.

Explored with Georgie and WIMR.

Also, thanks to DHL and The Cat Crept In, for valuable info.

The site is quite large and almost like a maze, we left satisfied that we saw all of it, after a good few hours. It’s a site worth seeing before the demo crew move in.

JST and Kook, it was good to meet you both whilst in there and providing us with a classic moment (Kook), we are still laughing about that.

as I've said elsewhere, it was great to bump into you guys, and hopefully we will again sometime.

You seemed to have picked up a few bits that I missed. Great explore for anyone who doesn't work in a hospital I guess! Sorry you guys got the brunt of the boy and girl in blue!

We think we covered all the areas but chances are we could missed certain parts, due to the size of the place.
Well worth a visit.

Similar state to when we were there, however it is looking like its potentially getting moar trashed, they'll board the ground floor windows before long.

I agree its a similar state to when we were there,i'm surprised it hasn't been boarded up yet.
