Third explore for me and wanted something a bit grander than my previous two so decided 'Hospitalesque' was the style I was after. I went for the easy choice of Milford Hospital in Surrey. ...Easy as it's near by, there is no on site security at all (be aware part of hospital site is in use though) and the place is royally fucked up so good for my kind of feel on the pics.
On arrival, got in no problem and was then free to wander what's left of this once magnificent Hospital. I say 'what's left' as the wards have recently gone (which I was expecting to see - they where there a week ago!) and I reckon it will be levelled in a fortnight. Not much in the way of stuff inside the rooms \ structures but plenty of decay going on everywhere.
Some history:
Milford Hospital was opened in 1928, originally as a TB Sanatorium serving the South East with Medical, Surgical and Diagnostics. It then became a general Chest Hospital before the wards were adapted for elderly and psycho geriatric cases. As late as 1978 it was still known locally as "Milford Chest".
1985 saw the Hospital rebuilt as an 80 bed unit with modern single storey linked wards, the introduction of specialist geriatricians, and plans to phase out long stay beds and develop rehabilitation beds for patients following an acute episode in the Royal Surrey County Hospital (RSCH) or from home (referrals being from hospital or GP).
Following Rehabilitation, patients, after three weeks or up to three months, were discharged home with a care package or to a care or nursing home. Patients were followed up in the day hospital which later developed into the Milford Assessment & Rehabilitation Centre (MARC).
The Stroke Unit was set up in the late 1990s including six dedicated stroke interdisciplinary rehabilitation beds. The Day Hospital (MARC) has highly developed skills dealing with Stroke, Respiratory and Cardiac conditions. Groups have also been established dealing with Rehabilitation, Falls, Parkinson's Disease and Incontinence. Carers support was also available.
