St Lukes hospital - Huddersfield - May 12

[mr beardy]

After the BLB's :drivin to preston to pick fenrir,Donebythehands, jos & eric, moleman and pri3st up we thought we'd do a derp before the pub. As we strolled round inside, outside the rozzers had us surrounded and we on the look out for us, until they spotted me and we then went to be told off.

St Luke’s started a shutdown process in 2007 and finally closed fully to the public on the 22nd of December 2010. Mainly providing Neuro rehabilitation care, associated Occupational therapy, post cardiac disease rehabilitation, a Renal unit and seemingly unending semi stripped out wards.

Based in and around the buildings of a former workhouse, the site is stepped over quite steep level changes. A three storey cruciform of 200m long glazed corridors serve and link the 1960’s blocks to the surrounding Victorian conversions.

I now plan on tracking down the owners and wave my fancy professional camera at them along with my press pass.
