[WelshPony]

OMG, so many treasures in here I would just love to have - the bingo ball thing, the cutaway thorax (?), those fancy bed pans! Awesome!

 

[Scaramanger]

Nice one.

That dummy in the suitcae is bizarre. I had a look here a while back but the metal steps goin up the side looked a
bit ropey to say the least !!

[flava]

Thanks for sharing this one looks worth a mooch

 

[Zotez]

That looks nice, I hope it stays that way! May have to make a visit myself.

 

[BahrainPete]

A nice find, and somewhat strange that so much unique property was left behind, especially by a charity where cash is at the generosity of others.

 

[Em_Ux]

Very intersting!

That Annie doll brings back some memories of first aid courses!!

Like the stilletto sign also.

Good find

 

[TranKmasT]

Excellent.
Looks uninteresting from the outside but inisde is fascinating. That manky doll with the sketal face in the suitcase is so macabre. Are you aware you have posted the garish bathroom picture twice. I had to do a double take anyway when I saw that blue tiolet and pink curtains.

Can't believe how much they left behind, did they move or did the division fold?
those resus training dummies cost a bomb, around £800 for a basic one to £4500 for top range.
Just had my annual refresher and the trainer was griping about the costs

 

[smiler]

Yes it was a great find by Muppet, he checked it out and found a way into the place before taking the old fella (Me) along to look at it, and although he had warned me about the suitcase with the babby inside, I too almost crapped meself when I opened it.
There were loads of penny sweets, packets of crisps etc, and memorabilia that almost screamed at you that this was once an integral part of the community, a shame that it is now lost.

It doesn’t matter what its worth or what it cost, what’s left is what we record, the loss of this facility to the community far outweigh any monitory value of what’s left for the scavengers to take.
