Dunno if this should technically be under "Hospitals" but it's a bloody big NHS site, and didn't really fit in any of the other sub-forums categories. Can move it to the Misc section if need be.
As far as I'm aware I'm the only person that's done this site, I'm guessing that it has limited appeal to most people. Thought I'd post it as a resource as there's not much info about this location anywhere.
Only had my 50mm f/1.4 lens and no tripod so it made it a lot harder to photograph than I'd normally expect, still I love a challenge!
I had to be extra careful on this outing as the building had a lot of windows and completely visible staircases from the street outside! That and it's a busy city on a Monday morning like when I did this, some time ago.
Anyhow, it closed sometime in the last year or two, not entirely sure when as I can't find much about it online.

25. And here's why:
26. A 35mm Slide... Right:
27. View from Third Floor:
28. Some evidence of Visitors:
29. Obligatory Stair Shot 50mm stylee:
There was the odd tell-tale sign that the place had visitors, a few marker pen tags and a few food packets dated within the last few days... But surprisingly not smashed up. While most of it is stripped, there are a fair few bits that make it worth while... It's also probably easier and better at night as in the day I was seriously dodging public view a third of the time, lot of pedestrians outsite, but I managed to not get spotted.
Note to self: ALWAYS take nice, versatile zoom lens in future!
