ROYAL PAPWORTH HOSPITAL: So this place closed only 2 weeks before I visited this place, and so I had the good fortune of being able to see this place in its full untouched glory! A new premises was built for this place very nearby and so this entire campus shut and was left to waste space and...

Apologies, another late entry! As part of our Norfolk explore weekend me and Mookster stopped off here en-route. Both for an explore and collecting Land Rover wheels! Again; little history on this one, but it appeared to be some form of Occupational Therapy Unit for the neighbouring Papworth...
