Atkinson Morley Hospital, London - May 2010

[Maniac]

As part of the 'stop talking about doing stuff, and actually go and do it' initiative, I Visited this place with DesertionPhotography.

Atkinson Morley Hospital was established on its present site in 1869 and closed in 2003. It was noteable as being the first place in the UK to have a CT scanner installed in 1972, however that scanner is not one of the one's you can see there today; they are much more modern. In its day, Atkinson Morely was one of the most advanced brain surgery centres in the world.

Interesting explore this one, as some of the place is quite trashed then other areas just round the corner are still mint.

''stop talking about doing stuff and actually go and do it''Come on everyone! get with the times!!

Frosty.

It's the way forwards. I've lost count of the number of times we've wasted time just sitting there talking about what we'd like to do, when instead we should be out there actually getting it done! Less talk, more action, more epic photos and big smily happy explorers! :mrgreen:
