Woodsend Hospital
The hospital, which was designed by Brown & Watt, opened as the Old Mill Poorhouse and Infirmary in May 1907. It became a military hospital during the First World War. The hospital was taken over by Aberdeen Town Council and reopened as Woodend Municipal Hospital in October 1927. A special block was erected for the treatment of non-pulmonary tuberculosis, pneumonia and similar cases. A new nurses' home was added in 1936 and the hospital joined the National Health Service in 1948. During the 1964 Aberdeen typhoid outbreak, over 400 cases were diagnosed and the patients were quarantined at the City Hospital and Woodend Hospital, although no fatalities resulted.
Small report here. Old building on the Woodsend Hospital site. Was probably nurses accommodation like usual. Nothing much inside besides empty rooms and corridors, however some nice details. Looked sealed on our first recce, but then we found a comical entrance, which made it a cute surprise to finish our trip.
