Site "Y" - Derelict Hospital


I have sat on this report for a couple of weeks because I really didn’t know if I should post it or not.

I am sure that people will be able to tell where this hospital is but I ask that if you do, do not post it on this thread.

Site “Y” Is a General Hospital based within the South Wales and has been derelict for just over 4 months.

As I walked around the hospital grounds, I was shocked that there was no damage to the doors or windows. It was like it was a Sunday and they decided to close for the day. Inside was a different story though. I made my way into the first building and started to notice that metal thieves had moved in. Radiators were removed, doors were forced open and there was metal and wires everywhere.

I have been in a lot of derelict buildings recently, most of which have not made it onto the forum yet but this one was probably the first that I was actually nervous in. It was just too quiet and because there was no broken windows or open doors (bar one or two doors) you couldn’t hear anything from the outside world – just made the place a little too quiet.

Anyway, I can’t really say much about this site without giving the location away so I’m just going to get on with the photographs now. I hope you like them and as always, your comments would be fantastic!

Thank You!!

Nice find and pics, although its probably a bit late to try and keep it quite if the scrappys have already started pilfering the place
 
Whoa! Amazing pics dude! You should be well proud of that set. All of them are spot on. Loving the selective saturation on the bollards- subtle.

Thanks for sharing, I hope that if anyone does know it, they respect the need to keep the location out of the title.
 
Thanks everybody for the kind comments! I'm so glad you've enjoyed this place :)

Thanks! I was tempted to name the site but I think it's just one bloke that's taking the metal and probably even Ex-Staff. I just don't want to go back in a few weeks to find it blown up or something - I will only blame myself :(

:mrgreen: Thanks mate, means alot! The bollard pic was a last second decision but I think it was a good one...

Sure the place has a bit of "trashing" to it but it's one of the cleanest buildings that I've stood in so far this year :lol:
 
Great photos, I have an update for everyone. Bit of background. I was working today on the set of a popular comedy, close to site y & 1 of the other guys lives nearby. He told me that plans are in place to turn site into a sports area. So as the filming trucks & I left, I decided to go check it out.

Area is now fenced off & secure. Did quick reccy of perimeter & all gaps are fenced off & there are a number of security firm vehicles on either side of site.

So, feeling well gutted at not being able to get in & explore made my way past the main gates just as the bloody film company vehicles were pulling into site, How ironic that?!

Shot taken whilst film crews were there - sorry about the crapness of it, was a quick pic, with flash, no tripod and I was wearing a shirt and tie...not funny but still doable if you know the site.

JonGriff - I will PM you a little later, currently in the car :)
 
Very nice mate, like this. Good idea about keeping the details secret, things get trashed so easily nowadays!

When I had a little snoop around tonight, it appears that it has been trashed quite a bit now. Bit hard to tell in a pitch black ward though!

Shame.
