Flat Holm Part 2
Now surrounded by 5' nettles & brambles getting in was fun.
Some History taken from Wiki
This building was described in The Lancet as a "pavilion" comprising two six-bed wards and a nurse's room. The Flat Holm sanatorium is unique in being the only Victorian isolation hospital sited on a British offshore island. The last patient to die in the hospital, a victim of bubonic plague, was cremated on the island at the end of the 19th century. The hospital finally closed in 1935 and has remained derelict since.

This area had a range & little room at each end, so maybe it was the kitchen?
Perhaps one of the rooms was the Nurses accommodation?

Looking at the badly overgrown bit from the other end.

Thanks for looking.
 
Bloody Hell Redd, That looks a bit dodgy even without five foot nettles to navigate, worth the effort though, I enjoyed looking, Thanks
 
I like this. A nice tiled floor there.

The standard Victorian 'Quarry Tile' floor, a must have in all kitchens and sculleries of that era. Your Victorian hallway was always done in a more decorative pattern of tile.

The location of this place serves as a reminder as to how scared our forebears were of plagues and unknown fevers. We own much to medical advances and antibiotics - lets hope we stay ahead of the 'bugs' in the future!
