Me and Neosea, took a very ;) recent trip over to Cheadle to have a look at this place:

Barnes Hospital, also known as Barnes Convalescent Home, in Cheadle, Greater Manchester, England, Whilst the hospital was constructed in a rural setting, it is now surrounded by roads.
The main building is Grade II listed, and lies on green belt land. A donation of £26,000 for the founding of a new convalescent hospital in Cheadle was made in 1869 by Robert Barnes. Construction of the hospital, named the Barnes Convalescent Home, started in 1871 and was completed in 1875. It was constructed of bricks, the clay for which was provided locally.
During World War II the hospital was used as a convalescent home for wounded soldiers.
The main use for the hospital in its later life was for geriatric care and stroke patients. It closed in September 1999 while Manchester Healthcare Trust was undergoing a £2 million cost cut. The hospital was sold in 2001, and the main building is currently being converted into 42 flats, with the other buildings on the site having been demolished for the construction of 18 houses and 77 more flats. The other flats will be in two blocks. The work will cost £10 million.
The hospital temporarily housed a large group of Kosovan refugees following its closure.

the last bit i thought was proper steps, but noticed it was the wooden slat grill cover thing from the wall :mrgreen:
worth the dodgy floors/climb for the views though :)
 
I love this place, it's so imposing :) it reminds me of a residential church :exclaim:
 
I quite like this, and that's coming from someone who isn't particularly interested in hospitals :)
 
Nice bit of black and white marra! and where the f??k was that tiled floor?

Thanks mate, I will upload some more photos tomorrow now I have my quality issue sorted out.

The tiled floor was under a set of stairs, where the gypos had a shit and left the paper everywhere.
