Visited here today with Boxfrenzy from another forum, however when we got in we could hear other people moving around upstairs, after avoiding them for half an hour we eventually sussed they weren't there for the metal or to chav the place up and went to see who they were. Luckily it turned out to be fellow explorers Meanwood monks and Projectmayhem from here
Nice to meet you guys.
You've probably read it all before so heres some history shamelessly robbed from Wiki,
The hospital was founded in 1927, to care for war casualties from World War I, under the then Ministry of Pensions, to replace the military hospital at Beckett Park. It was opened by Princess Mary The hospital was built in the grounds of Gledhow Grove mansion, and the mansion was also used. In 1953 the hospital was transferred to the Ministry of Health and developed as a general hospital. In 1975 the Newton Green Wing was opened in purpose-built buildings on the opposite, south, side of Harehills Lane. New accommodation for the whole hospital was added on this site 1992-1994, and opened by the Duchess of Kent. The old hospital buildings were demolished, the Grade II listed mansion has been left derelict with new housing built in the grounds.
The original front door,
The once grand staircase in the original entrance hall
Self portrait,
Door to the WW2 air raid shelter in the extensive cellars
Shelter first aid post,
Vintage fire extinguisher,
Abandoned patient records in another part of the cellar.
