Edinburgh Royal Victoria Hospital, 2017

[hmltnangel]

Ok, first post on here, so hope you enjoy. Just a small explore from middle of last year but an interesting little one one nonetheless. 

The Royal Victoria closed bit by bit over the last few years, finally becoming empty last year. Each time we pitched up there was always something still active so we accidentally left it a bit too long without checking. Big mistake, the neds burnt half the place to the ground and a sh!tload was demod to make it safe. 

Anyway, we managed to explore a good but of it but only took photos of the main block. The old Victorian building despite looking externally brilliant - has been so modernised inside there is no hall anymore - just a bunch of admin rooms. 

Enough babbling - on with the pics

Damn that 'spine' corridor is nice looking in a photo   Bit mad those sinks are nicely lined up like that, probably worth a few quid to someone i suppose  

Funny hearing the term "neds" a good ten years after moving away from scotland lol. Nice work

Cheers guys. 

Twas a strange big place. It went from burnt, to smashed, to intact as you went through it. 

Don't think I took a pic but there was a room, full to the brim with flourescent light fittings. And all the bulbs etc. Mustve been a couple of hundred of them ....quite a strange sight.

Sounds like someone’s dumping room...
