Cookridge Hospital, Morgue and Older Wing 2010

[KingElvis]

Visited with Cuban Bloodhound and Skin. We were there for 4 hours and manged to uncover some nice bits. Nice to meet you guys :thumb

To start with a few more from the main hospital, went right back through this today and I think I've seen most of it now.

My camera had become stuck on high iso unknown to me so apologies for crapper than usual pics.

The old ward in the listed wing was a very powerful place to be, you could feel the building and it memories closing in...sorry it was strange.

Hospital radio at it oldest, there was about 20 of these on the walls where the beds would have been.
