Great stuff LB
nice pics there and looks like you picked a good day for it.
great site too, coming along nicely
Ta muchly Chews -I'd been itching to get back to get some photos of certain areas in good light
Part 1 of The Virtual Tour of SMH is almost ready to go live -just adding a "few" more piccies from me latest trip
'Tis a fair assumption -after all, I would've thought that there's only so many designs that can be done for a standard hospital bed. Have I missed your pics of this bed, if not, perhaps we can see some -might be same bed, but it's a different location after all
I was going to come along, then I was informed of the method of access and thought better of it
Well, in the end, it wasn't as bad as last time. Of course this is my absolutely final last visit, or else I would have given ya the head-up for next time
love the pics lightbuoy. some in there that u really have to think where there actually taken. like the seclusion room ones especially. may bump into u up there one day
Thanks Erol -you never know!
I see you've put every photo from your photobucket account up, my computers cooling fan is doing overtime.
Some cracking shots though, the beds appeared from nowhere though?
You mean that you don't encircle your computer with sprinklers set to fine mist, like I do?
Every photo is indeed taken from my PB account, as I use the PB account mainly for DP -however, these aren't all of my photos from SMH!!!
The bed, as Kongzi correctly says, was from under the staircase nearby, and assembled in what was as one time, the Hospital Library/ I guess that it was placed in here, rather than in a Ward or Seclusion Room for the moody "barred window" look?
.....Lots of little bits people miss, like the loft spaces and cupboards
Knew I forgot to look somewhere.....rustle rustle rustle
Cheers
-you might have guessed that I tend to struggle to chose which ones to leave out
I bet this is less than 0.001% of LB's Sev's photos...
How ever did you guess -are you a computer hacker?
Wow, that place looks amazing! Nice work
Thanking you kindly Jimba
It's pretty empty, but one of my fave places to see.

It was rather more bearable this time
Thanks Owly
I trust that all's good -PM me when ya next in the area
Thank you very much Sir
-Urbtography & Kichi Me did much better with the Lift though -got right inside and ontop of the Lift -craaaaazy people! :elvis:
The last I heard, a National Housing Developer pulled-out of the sale last year due to the slow-down in the Construction Industry. Since then, the HCA (formally English Partnerships), still owns the site, with GVA Grimley managing the site (perhaps the marketing / sale side of things). Site sign boards sprung up early-on this year too, with local Newspapers reporting approval for new A12 link. This will free-up the Hospital site on the transport infrastructure side of things (see below linky)

Nicely done - I must make a return visit at some point...
And on a side not, where these two cells?
One on the right an old padded cell - saw at Hellingly a few cells with the half sized windows...?
