Glen O' Dee Hospital, Aberdeenshire - July 2009

I haven't been here for a while so I thought I'd see what was going on. The main kitchen and boiler house to the rear of the building have been demolished and there's signs of stripping going on in the main building.
I first visited in 2005 and it was relatively untouched then

Main entrance


Contents of the once-intact library strewn all over the kitchen. It's been stripped out ready for demolition




There isn't much left in Glen O' Dee, these transparent medical diagrams survived in a cupboard though


One of the appealing things about Glen O' Dee is the hand-drawn signs and general retrograde feel of the place. Apart from the obvious fire alarms, and a small area re-glazed with UPVC windows. it doesn't seem very modernised even though it only closed in the late '90s








The 'Private Staircase' is suffering quite a bit due to the leaky roof


Plural failure


The fabric of the old hospital is tearing away, I wonder how difficult it'll be to restore compared with the usual stone buildings which you can just tear the insides out of and basically erect a new building inside.




The corridors are narrow, long and in this case, uninviting


In one of the small wards, signs of the pipes being stripped




The 1970s called, they want their curtains back




Stained glass detail

They're still planning on restoring this right?

I hope so! There is a lot of structural rot though, I think much of it may have to be demolished and rebuilt. Just a guess.

AMAZING, that place look soo good to explore.
looks slighty eery and spooky. like theres a feel about it.
did u find that while u were walkin around?
good find

Nice one Lost, looking a lot more rotten around the staircases than our visit in 2005. Did you venture up to find the 1916 scrawlings?

Good shots.

Nice to see here again

It's gone a bitty downhill, but not nearly as much as some have in the same time, I guess it's location has helped save it

OH NO!!
Look at all the books!!!
Location has def saved it.
Thank you for going back and snapping

Great location and great shots mate!

What a great place, love the staircase! would have been a grand old building in its day, hope they are doing something with.
