The Retreat York

[mummyshambles]

Lovely old hospital, closed 2018 and still in very good nick, currently in the process of being cleared out ready for conversion to homes. This was a Quaker hospital, the ethos was to provide an alternative to the oppressive nature of institutional asylum practices. We shared our explore with the peacock and a multitude of rabbits running about in the grounds

Really nice building that, shame its so stripped.
Nice peacock to boot

The glass awning to protect those sitting outdoors looks very attractive. Fashioned around the bay windows, it gets away from being just a straight line. And the roof has style.
