Visited in April last year, 2009.
This lovely building is Rosendale Hospital, originally built as a workhouse in 1868 and then converted into part of Rossendale Hospital in the 1930s. The building is truly stunning and I hope it gets saved and not burned down or vandalised. A large part of the site is still live and the old part has an active security dude.
Please take into account this was a spur of the moment visit with no torch and very little time. There is a whole load in here waiting to be discovered and I think we are the first :thumb
In the old days as a workhouse

How it looks now, fantastic (except for the boards)

Inside, empty and modenised but interesting.
