West Park, Nov 2005 - Panoramas

[Jondoe_264]

Some of you may know that I've all but checked out of public affairs as far as derelict building exploration goes, some of you may not have the first clue who I am as a result, s'all good.

There was a time, some eight years back, when I was exploring ALOT of derelict sites but have since taken down all related content from the website I ran as I chose to focus my attention on my first passion, drains & sewers.

Any how. Long story short. Mr. Bones, whom I've known since those early days, contacted me recently to ask if I could dig out a link to a video we shot at West Park hospital in 2005. I'm still looking for that, but I did stumble across these flash based panoramic images that we put together in Nov 2005. I thought they were probably worth a share for those who perhaps didn't get to West Park.

They're in no particular order and a bit disjointed as they were originally part of a bigger page, but here's the links.

Oh, and a MAP in case you want to locate yourself

Very, very cool. Thanks for sharing.

I believe it's in the later stages of development as housing?

 

[mookster]

It's been mostly demolished for nearly a year now, what's left is stripped back to bare brick and being converted. Luckily they've kept a fair amount of it unlike other places.

Cheers for that JD, it is really nice to see these - West Park before it got too touristy and ruined by roof damage. I will look forward to seeing 'Dear Edward' again and thanks for continuing the search

Fantastic work, thank you so much or sharing!
