Borrowdale House, (Dr Todd's house). High Royds
This is a mini report really as there isn't much to see in there. If you don't know where it is it's the large house type building between the mortuary and the social club.
Silverstealth told me that it was Dr Todd's house during the late 1960's and early 1970's. He was the Doctor who recommended the experimental surgery on Derek Hutchinson see here (http://www.urbexforums.co.uk/showthread.php?t=325) for the story.

As I said, not much to see in there but it's another part of this wonderfully historic site captured.
Cheers.
