St. Lukes Hospital, Huddersfield. feb 2013

[Judderman62]

It was decided to relocate services in 2007 and by 2010 this hospital had closed.

The place is utterly fubar. The land pirates and ferral youth have left no millimeter
of this place undamaged. It really isn't worth a visit anymore.

Pics taken over two visits (yes I know) - first with Sonyes and NYX and the re-visit
with Zero81. First visit was without tripod so hand held and high ISO - images thus
are suitably crap.

now into the boiler room, which I did like.

Nice work mate i had a good day out here last year

 

[UE-OMJ]

Great photos, still some good bits left to see.

 

[UrbanX]

Trashed, but you've proved there's still some quality shots to be had! Cheers for sharing!

 

[Judderman62]

thanks peeps

 

[mookster]

A mess but I hope they find a good use for that main building, looks sound externally.

 

[Sshhhh...]

From the outside looks like a fantastic, beautiful building, shame its so trashed inside. Some fab shots though nonetheless. Thanks for sharing

 

[Judderman62]

Sadly it is to be demo'd... I'm presuming that includes the nice old building

I was under the impression that the admin block/former workhouse was listed! But attempts to list it in 1995 and 2009 both failed and the NHS bosses say it is of "very little historical interest" Each to their own I say.

I believe their intention has always been to demolish the site! That's why they have let it fall into the state it's in now. How very bleeding cynical can you get. It's sad enough to see it slowly succumb to the elements.

I for one will be venting my anger to the authorities when this beautiful building ends up as rubble to make way for more cardboard fucking boxes Yeah... yeah... yeah... There's a housing shortage and all that crap. Keep demolishing buildings like this, and there will be a shortage of historical sites

Rant over.

..............

The boiler house is the best part now mate. You have got some really nice images there

 

[TeeJF]

They've done a real job on it haven't they. Damn sad really.

You've got a great set there bud, I was telling some people about the state of this place just the other day, and mentioned you had made another visit, and to expect a report soon.

You've managed to make it look a hell of a lot better than it actually was, and glad to see you got into the hall

Nice set of shots there matey, cheers for giving in to my 'can we go...please...i know its fooked, but i still want to see the place' nagging over the past few weeks and going back for a 2nd time (least you got to see how sh1t and soulless the workhouse bit is this time).

cheers matey - yeah I was glad we got in the hall - easy, peasy too - and you were right about the old building - we spent about 3 mins in there before deciding it was carp and getting out.
