A visit with Marlon, primarily with the intention of seeing one or both of the infamous padded cells. I saw the padded playpen several years ago, but have never seen either cell. This trip didn't disappoint and the cell was located. I saw the pool again and, as ever, it left me uninspired!
All seemed perfectly quiet on site, until we left. Just as we had made the decision to go and were packing up, we heard an unusual noise. After a moment's thought, I suggested that it sounded suspiciously like an electric drill... someone was boarding up! A hasty retreat followed!
Marlon's wheelbarrow... apparently it's been strung up there for some years now!
The ceiling coming in to meet the floor
Beautiful peeling paint
Rainbow
The elusive padded cell
Back of the padded cell door
Trying to get in or out?!
It's not the most beautiful hospital, nor the most interesting, but it has some nice bits left, a padded cell, and that incredible derelict hospital smell
