I've put these two into one under misc because there was no access, and too little for one report each but too much for the general urbex thread. Oddly enough I found them after attending the actual eye infirmary at the hospital, and having plenty of time left until my bus home I decided to try and find the Jewish Cemetery, which has been on my list for ages. It wasn't until I asked a passing local that I found out that the building behind the cemetery was the old West of England Eye infirmary, which became the Hotel Barcelona, and has been unused for some years but supposedly going to be refurbished.
The Jewish Cemetery lies just outside the Roman wall of the city, near to where the South gate once was, opposite the Wynards Almshouses in Magdalen Road. The first lease was taken out in 1757. It's no longer used and cannot be accessed, but is maintained.
The higher cemetery.
Wall of the cemetary with the West of England Eye Infirmary in the background.
The West of England Eye Infirmary was founded in 1808 and was the first eye hospital in Devon, being the second purpose-built eye hospital in the country. It moved from Holloway Street in Exeter to premises in Magdalen Street in 1813.
When I attended the actual clinic I was given eyedrops which keep the irises open and the effect was very disorienting...suspiciously like being drunk!
I'm just glad the pics came out okay. 
Hope you enjoyed.
