I have had a look around this building years ago when it was still in use as staff quarters, but after in was closed access wasn't possible, until now.
The damage caused by water, vandals & theft is enormous.
The basement is completely flooded, the floors & stairs are rotten and the external timber is almost at the point of collapse.
Many of the original very nice features have been smashed including a large amount of the stained glass windows & panels.
I won't bore you with the history as it's already been covered in other posts.
It's my first report on here - be gentle !
The exterior - rotten timber.http://i199.photobucket.com/albums/aa244/deesidegranite/Facebook/Glen%20O%20Dee%20%20Urban%20Explore/892239_10152639534385577_1267308457_o.jpg
The canteen / dining room

The ladder up to the water tower, someone has turned the ladder to make climbing it immpossible - it looked dodgy anyway

One of many corridors

One of the stairwells - the stairs are in very poor condition

The recreation centre once housed a large library, all the shelving has been smashed & the books are all in a soggy, moudly heap - quite sad

At least the record player was still there

One of only a few unbroken stained glass windows

Still some original features remain

There was a few small keys hanging in odd places around the hospital

Always need a chair shot
