It was opened on the 30th September 1897... so it's 111 years old as of a few days ago! I seen some great shots of the inside of this place on 28dl... one of the pics has some pretty disgusting fungus on the walls. I have been inside and agree with the pigeon guy that the atmosphere in there is well too damp. Wear a 3m mask and be careful on the upper floors in the hospital part of the building... reason being that some folk have stolen slates from the roof and it is f$%^&d in the up stairs bits... in places...
