Bangour Village Hospital. June 2015

[Judderman62]

Well we're onto B of my photo's to be edited so it's the turn of This remarkable site. It's big, it's got lots of very lovely buildings and security drive round regularly in their  big White 4 X 4.

It's pretty well boarded up to so just externals from this site ... but it's still worth chucking pictures up as it's quite a place.

So Sit back and enjoy.

It was officially opened in October 1906 (under the name Edinburgh District Asylum), over two years after the first patients were admitted in June 1904. In 1918 Bangour

General Hospital was created in the grounds, but the hospital began winding down in 1989 with services being transferred to the newly built St. John's Hospital in the Howden area

of Livingston. The final ward at Bangour eventually closed in 2004.

That's a really nice set and although it's only externals it's still good to see these

Photo 4 reminds me of a local pub painted like a cow

Some coopl shots there though its a shame about no internals, perhaps soon the local fuckwits will have broken in and it will be accessable

Am I correct in thinking because this place was so big it was actually a village in itself? 

Nice pucs, I have seen some from inside some of the buildings a while back. Not too bad actually. 

Thanks for sharing, nice

Thanks Folks. It certainly is a very large site - beautiful rural location too - think that was the idea as part of the treatment, as it oft was with these places, nice surroundings, fresh air etc.

Whether it was considered a village I don't know - it certainly had a lot of facilities as the bigger institutions oft did,
