Morgue and Manor House, Efforts, June 2012

What a dismal damp day, but constant rain and questionable footwear didn't dampen our efforts. First off on out Lancashire road trip was Rossendale Hospital Morgue.

History



Visited with Donebythehands and Luke.


A bit of controversy regarding this first location. A fellow UE brother staged some shots in here that a local rag, having a slow day went with the 'distasteful angle' which kind of blew up in there face judging by comments after.

Next stop was the Manor House.

.

Thanks for looking.​

Nice work pal.


I've been in the old workhouse Rossendale General Its nice in there sadly couldn't get into the newer Infirmary building which where i was born.


The Mansion has only been shut for a few years its badly suffered inside, we had a look in the ballroom no way in the house at the time.

Mortuaries are always significant places to find - but, having worked in one during my early working life - some very nasty bugs remain viable for a surprisingly long time - years, even decades, sometimes. Spores live on! I'm sure you are all expert urbexes, but please take really good care when exploring them.

Interesting to find the gurney set to receive a body for transport. Note the plastic shroud on top of the cotton one. Looks like they closed in a hurry - and therefore may have been less than scrupulous about that last scrub-down.
