Mockingbirds Back To Posting Places
So my lifes been very hectic for awhile now, but I should be back in full swing to be exact as soon as I can be, visited this place late last year with my good friend NakedEye he made the epic trip of 4 hours to mine, then an hour or so to see this place an then the drive back, was probably the most fun explore I had the chance of doing all year... navigating the fences, ripping clothes and skin on razor/barbed wire, going under and over everything possible only to find we had gone in so many different directions...
Could of easily spent longer inside, but after walking around the place for so long, an stomachs rumbling we called it quits, an went out the easy way with secca asking us what we was doing and a tonne of other questions.... easy as that folks.
Brief History Below
The Cambridge Military Hospital (CMH) was the fifth military hospital built in Aldershot, the CMH was built by Messrs Martin Wells and Co. of Aldershot, the building costs were approximately £45,758.
The first patients admitted to the CMH were on Friday 18 July 1879. They either walked or were taken by cart ambulance from the Connaught Hospital.
The title had nothing to do with the Cambridge area but came from His Royal Highness The Duke of Cambridge who was the Commander-in-Chief of the Army at the time. The Duke of Cambridge opened the CMH Aldershot in July 1879.
The hospital was built on a hill because current clinical thinking at the time thought that the wind would sweep away any infection and clean the air, the hospital soon became a fully functioning hospital and was the first in the UK to receive battle casualties directly from the front of World War One.
Enjoy The Mockingbird Moodiness!
