Blackburn Infirmary - August 2014

[urblex]

Been here before but got invited by another 2 local explorers who fancied a look. Can't say i noticed if anything has changed, well apart from equipment left behind by metal thieves, must of been classy guys stealing metal from an old children's ward... Suprised threre's anything left worth stealing but apparently there is. Oh and they've started building something (another house i presume) on the grounds in front of whats left of the place. It's pretty bare & not as good as some of the other hospitals but still an enjoyable wander. Access was a little bit tedious, waiting for a moment when there was no one walking past & no drivers that would see us, after a bit of patience we were in.

History,

Most of the hospital has been demolished & in the process of being replaced with houses, only the war memorial wing remains. Construction of the war memorial wing started in 1924 and was completed in 1928. It was designed to "provide an imposing frontage and statement building to greet any traveller entering Blackburn along the Bolton Road to the south east." It was designed by local architects Sames and Green.

Chair Shot...

Like the graff in here as well, it's only stencils but i think they're cool...

Is it still worth going there or better to chose another location? I am hyped about abandoned hospitals and asylums.

Thanks guys

Yeah it is pretty trashed but i'd say it's worth a look if you haven't seen it, there's 3 floors & a basement but it doesn't take too long

Cool report mate, the place looks well battered but you came away with some good shots so all is not lost. The artwork is quite cool too

Wow that's trashed !, love the stencils though, not normally a fan of Graff but they are mint!, looks like the kind of place I like, can't beat a good hospital, no matter what state it's in
