Fairmile Hospital, Moulsford, September 2010

[sj9966]

Fairmile Hospital opened in 1870 as Moulsford Asylum, the name change to Fairmile Hospital occured when the hospital was incorporated into the National Health Service. It closed in 2003 and has sat empty ever since.

With the work to convert it to apartments about to begin, I thought that it was about time i got myself down here for a look around.

I was inside for about 4 hours and only managed to see a small part of it, I had a couple of close encounters with security, one of them was inside the main building, how they missed me I will never know as they were only about 6 feet away!

A top place and still in good condition, proof that good security pays pays off. I will be visiting again as I have a lot more of the place to see yet.

I didn't get too many externals as it was raining for most of the morning and security were very active doing the rounds.

Here are some picture of some of the bits I did see.
