This was a couple of months ago?

Welcome, to Glen O'Dee!


The original building was built in 1900 and started its life as Nordrach on Dee Hospital, a sanctuary for tuberculosis patients. When TB died down it served as a luxury hotel (when it became "Glen O' Dee"), but was taken over during the war to serve as a billet for troops. It reprised its role in contagious diseases when the typhoid epidemic hit nearby Aberdeen in the 1960s, but its last use was as a residential home for the elderly. The original building closed in 1998, when a new purpose built building was built on the same site.

The original building has been featured on the BBC's Restoration programme, but it has sat empty and deteriorating since 1998.

Staff Houses - the nurses would have stayed here when working in Glen O'Dee itself, they're a stones throw away from the main hospital and consisted of 4 flats, they are now used by the local kiddiewinkles to explore (like what I done as a kid), to get drunk or smoke illicit substances, photographers and models.

The kiddiewinkles have "decorated" some parts.

We found their fairy! She appears to be topless.

There was tinsel, baubles and other Christmas crap on the floor of this room, before I left I put it all on the fireplace, because that's how I roll.

Deaths doorway....Sounds like a cheerful book!

Nice set there miss! :thumb

[Clough]

Nice cowboy hat in pic 13

[ROYALBOB]

Nice work. Are they all shot on film?

[Rebel]

Looks like film, possibly Polariod execpt for the boarder-less ones . Very grainy in places and an oldskool look. It seems to sort of work!

[ZombieSazza]

Ha, this wasn't planned so I'll be honest, it's Hipstamatic an iPhone app. Sometimes I'm in an area and decide I'll have a mooch and only have my phone on me.

In saying that my next explore will be on 35mm expire and 110 expired so it should be a laugh, there's a dead place in Moray with a few dead cars I've too see ;)

[birdinanaviary]

The second set u can tell are hipstamatic but the first set not so much and that's probably only because I have the app

[ZombieSazza]

I was dicking around with the different lenses and films on it, not sure when I'll be back next but I'll have my camera and tripod, as I do believe I haven't foud the tiny morgue yet. Don't think it's got much in it but worth a mooch in any case.
