Thornton Fever Hosp
Thornton Fever Hospital opened in 1902 as a fever isolation hospital- treating illnesses such as scarlet fever, diphtheria and meningitis. The Fifeshire Typhoid epidemic in 1903 ensured that the hospital was full to capacity. Due to the building of the new hospital in Dunfermline the hospital closed its doors in 1967 and remained empty until 1970.
It was then that the building was bought and turned into a fee-paying school called Corsbie Hall for boys between the age of 6-16 who were seen as maladjusted and mentally handicapped. Boys from all over the UK were sent to the school. An inspection was carried out in 1971 after concerns were raised that the school was not fit for purpose- the owner of the school became bankrupt in 1972 and the school closed.
Since then it is unclear of when the building has been used but it has then been known as the site of the Corsbie Hall Hotel and an unregistered nursing home. The last known use was by Strathmore Plant hire up until 2006.
This place is pretty trashed there is no denying but its still really photogenic.
Well there was a dog, in fact there was a whole family in here playing with their "over friendly" dog, was a nice relaxed explore.
Thanks for looking
