Diddnt have much time in here. Got round about a quarter of the hospital, only getting shots of a few of the rooms.
Not sure if this buildings going to be demolished or not. All the others around it have so cant work out why this ones been left. Cant see it being refurbished as decay is setting in.
It would be a great shame to see such a beautiful building dissapear.

Thanks to chieftain for the leg up, haha. Might not have got to see the place without him:)

Great set of shots mate that set of stairs is sick!!! shame you couldnt get round the whole lot, maybe next time.
 
It's not been left standing because of bats has it? they save so many buildings penned for destrcution... Barrow Gurney for example.

Interesting building, I'm surprised a substantial chunk of real estate like that is still standing in a county like Essex.

Good job there!
 
Cracking stuff there well done.
I thought this had all been demoed & rest converted a few years back and long gone = ) Clearly not & thats always good.
The furniture in pic 8 Is a hat and umbrella stand with a few bits here and there missing.
Chieftain always a gent assisting a lady splorer in distress lol
Cheers guys

Photo 13 is of the remains of a pager transmitter system (type in the message and send to staff etc). I rekon its from the late 70s early 80s, but thats a guess.

Photo 12 may be of a motor for a dumb waiter system. I think a lift motor would have been bigger, and motors with moving parts for lifts were phased out by about 1996. A good UE example of this change in legislation is Aldwych Underground Station.

great photos. what a nice building.
its a shame you didn't see much, but when (if) you do go back, don't forget to share more pictures with us :)
 
Photo 13 - I know exactly what that is and it's for programming scrolling LED display message boards.
