Selly Oak Hospital August 15

Evening All,

I first visited Selly Oak last Novemeber, but onky got to see the morgue, so decided to revisit and hopefully see some more. I know this place has been done to death, but i have stolen abit of history from Wiki:

The hospital closed in 2012 upon completion of the new Queen Elizabeth Hospital. Relocation of the first services from Selly Oak began during the summer of 2010 when its A&E department moved to the new Q.E.Hospital on 16 June and over the next 7 days Critical Care and other departments moved step-by-step the 1.5 miles to the new hospital. On average one inpatient was moved every 5 minutes between 7 am and early evening [2] On the morning of 23 May 2010 a 'Service of Thanks' was held at Selly Oak Hospital to celebrate a century of caring and this was followed by a fun fair at which staff and patients were invited to "Take a Trip Down Memory Lane", sign a memory wall [3] and contribute to an on-line memories website. The reorganisation was first planned in 1998 though it was not until October 2004 that planning approval was given by Birmingham City Council, with construction beginning during 2006.

Selly Oak Hospital was well renowned for the trauma care it provided and had one of the best[citation needed] burns units in the country

Very nice report mate!

 

[DirtyJigsaw]

Its certainly worth a visit Lots of buildings to wander around and of course that clean morgue.

Thanks all

It's a massive place this and cool to see your take on the place. There's a very old looking building in the middle somewhere that looks nice and decayed that id like to access maybe next time

 

[DirtyJigsaw]

Cheers man. I think I know the building you mean, is it the Gym? I looked around it and saw no access, so maybe next time?

 

[hamtagger]

Not quite sure what it was mate but it looked older than the surrounding buildings. Might have to pop over to have another sniff around sometime

It's the morgue that attracts me to be honest, bit like Durham. Wasn't interested in the hospital as not decayed enough. Might take a trip
