Loughborough General Hospital, August 2011

Hi Folks,

First time post on here, so hello to you all.

I made a visit to the old Loughborough General Hospital the other day after it was in the local press
as it is eventually going to be developed. I have seen the great photos on here earlier from Scoobs
and though an update wouldn't go amiss. Unsurprisingly it seems to be even more trashed than it had been
back in 2008.
We went pretty early in the morning in the hope that we could avoid any issues or run ins with squatters or smack heads etc... we did not run into anyone or see any needles about . The worst was a plentiful supply of cans of special brew...empty of course!

One of the external fire escapes. This one has been cut off to hinder entrance, the one on the other side was boarded up very securely.

First floor hallway looking in a pretty sorry state. We didn't hang around too long on the ground floor as it was pitch black and i had forgotten my torch

There was very little to be seen of the original fittings

It dumbfounds me that someone would want to go to the length of kicking in every single panel in a partition wall...

One of the less secure looking corridors

I think that this was the original reception area

Guidelines on waste disposal...now if only the chavs would listen....

Great pics, thanks I enjoyed those

Looks brilliant great pics

Cool stuff, been a long time now since i've seen anything from here.

This looks a good explore. I like the roof top shot. Thanks for posting

cool looking place....

I don't get why toilets sinks urinals etc always seem to get smashed up ??

good stuff mate , well done on your first report,looks like it would have been a good one to see before it got a bit trashed but well worth it all the same
