I like to start of the year with a derelict hospital :D

And this place has been on the list a long long time, so very pleased to see this.
The site has been closed a while, and suffered vandalism. The original wooden boarding has been supplemented with metal sheeting. Bit of a tough one to crack, as there are now security and PIRs. With these measures, the building is in fair condition, and in a photographic state of decay.

Group explore with KM Punk, Lost Explorer, Yorrick and a non member.

Thanks to Darbians for tips on this place.

The hospital in Melton Mowbray started life as Hill House and was built pre 1760. In 1840 it was renamedWyndham Lodge and rebuilt in Wartnaby stone in 1874.
In 1920 Col Richard Dalgleish purchased Wyndham lodge as a gift to the town. In honour of those who had fallen during the great war it became known as Melton & District War Memorial Hospital.

The hospital closed in 2005. There are currently plans to convert the Grade II listed building to retirement homes.


Not happy with all my photos, sorry but I’m going through a learning curve with my new lens.

Nothing wrong with those photos! What lens have you gone for?
Fantastic shots, and it looks an ace explore too.

After a few beers, I impulse brought a used Tokina 11-16mm F2.8 wide angle (Canon fit)
Some of my outside shots in AF I'm not too confident with, but, getting better results with MF when stopped down, so starting to get more pleased with it

Thanks mate :) It was an awesome explore
 
Glad ya got it done. The decay in those two wards is so nice.
Watch out for the bokeh on that lens. It can be a bit sharp if that makes sense.
