Sleeping Secca Hospital
January 2013
Since I was little, I have loved the thought of walking around a building that's in the process of being demolished so this for me was a great little explore!
I visited this South Wales General Hospital during it’s final demolition phase and I was so pleased to be able to see at least part of this once buzzing South Wales Hospital.
This hospital first opened in 1917 but on September 12th 1929 fire damaged the historic building and took the lives of two firemen. The hospital was reconstructed and officially opened by the Duchess of York in April 1933.
I had attempted to visit this site sometime ago but with 24 hour security, Night Vision CCTV and guard dogs, it proved to be a tricky one but after hearing of it’s current state (mid demoltion) I knew I had to make the effort to at least see what was left.
Named “Sleepy Secca Hospital” after I stumbled across the sites security staff snoring away in their cabin!
