The Explore

Visited with @Urbexbandoned  :) We were actually heading towards a school in the area when we noticed the ivy covered frontage of this hospital from the road outside and decided to swing into the carpark. Then we looked right and saw the little building with the fridges that had been appearing in a few recent threads at the time, nice to see the head pillows but that was about it to be honest. Went around the back and stuck my head into the "tramp cells" for a second but decided there must be a little more to this site... Turn 180 degrees... 4 ward hospital..

The History

The Workhouse was built in 1836 on the east side of Melton on Thorpe End Road, comprising four wards and spacious yards. It is now St. Mary's Hospital and still serving the local area.

When it was built it cost £6000 and was designed to house three hundred people.According to White's trade directory of 1846, it rarely housed more than half of that number at that time.

The workhouse was somewhere poor people in the area could go. In return for food and clothing they were given work to do. The former workhouse later became St Mary's Hospital. I can't find much in the way of when this place closed down, I am assuming that because the doors were marked 2010 that this was about right.
