The mortuary only became part of St. Peter's within the last 15 years or so. It was originally developed as part of Surrey County Council's Botleys Park Colony for mentally defective persons, designed by architect JM Sheppard during the 1930's in the grounds of a mansion. St.Peter's was constructed as part of the emergency medical services scheme in anticipation of increased casualty numbers during WWII. Most of Botleys Park closed during the 1990s with a few services retained as Bournewood. The majority of surviving buildings were subsequently annexed by St. Peter's but are pending redevelopment.
The mortuary was used until April 2009, until it's replacement by a larger facility, closer to the main hospital buildings.


Some of these shots are from my first trip, 5, 8, 7 and 8 are my second trip, but my first, piss poor amateur attempt at shooting raw. It's hassle at the processing end. Lightroom is bollocks, the files are huge, it takes my camera about 3 hours to save a RAW to card, and it makes me RAGE. Also, my first gash HDR. See if you can spot it :eek::rolleyes:
