Background History The Queen Mother's maternity hospital at Yorkhill in Glasgow was opened by HRH The Queen Mother on the 23rd of September 1964, adjacent to the existing Royal Hospital for Sick Children. At the time it was one of the most modern maternity hospitals in Europe and helped to...

This statue of Queen Anne was sculpted by Frances Bird and Sir Christopher Wren, back in 1712. This statue was enveiled on 7th July 1713 at St. Paul’s Cathedral, Ludgate Hill, London. However, moved in 1881 to the current location next to the Conquest Hospital. This is a grade 2 listed...

History: The history or just information of this place is very scarce on the internet. But while exploring we found a couple of clues referring to the past of what happend. The first one was a ID of a man. The man was born in 1921, so what we could assume is that he isn't around anymore. After...

Visited with Scattergun. This one took a couple of attempts. The first time we were unlucky enough to be greeted by the arrival of a squad of contractors just as light broke, but we returned a few days later and it was a nice chilled out wander. We were not the first ones in so it won't surprise...

The redundant rail deck requires certain techniques as it is now isolated, there's a single ladder which isn't accessible well worth the effort long as you don't mind heights. This twin deck pedestrian, vehicle & former rail bridge links Southwick (north) & Pallion or south Hylton (south) of...

The History There’s not a great deal to tell about this place. Queen Street Bus garage is built on the site of what was originally the Theatre Royal. Built during the nineteenth century the new Theatre Royal, in Queen Street seated 1200 people, with its magnificent proscenium and forty foot...

I’d never get to do this without permission. Even if I had the ability, I don’t have the courage. So when I was asked if I wanted a guided tour of the underground part, I was straight on the train. Note: Whilst I had permission to be there, I didn’t have permission to take photos and put them...

Well, this has been done to death, so I thought I would add my two pennies' worth! Relaxed explore, bumped into 2 other people while we explored. No security or nothing seen! To easy! Not a bad hospital but I think I prefer Haslar and Frenchay when it comes to features and equipment! But still...

The history: The Queen Elizabeth II hospital – or the QEII as it is known locally, is located in Welwyn Garden City and run by East and North Hertfordshire NHS Trust. The first full hospital to be built by the NHS, the QEII had some 100 beds. All inpatient and emergency services were...

The History Opened in 1963 by Queen Elizabeth II, The QEII hospital served Welwyn Garden City; a town famous for Quakers and Shredded Wheat, for 52 years. Operations started to wind down as a brand spanking new £30,000,000 hospital was built next door to the aging 1960s hospital in the city and...

History Stolen from @slayaaa Plans for a new £30 million QEII Hospital in Welwyn Garden City were submitted in 2014, agreed upon the same year and soon after they demolished the Peartree centre, Harmer house and the disabled parking to make way for the new build. It successfully opened fully...

Intro Short little report, turned out to be a little better than expected, very very modern. Can't have been refitted that long ago at all. Had fun pissing about with mates, as you'll see shortly. This was cut short but the sudden realization of a rather large dog... So we kinda bounced...

Intro QE2, cheers for the lead OT, interesting to see how the lay out of a hospital changes that dramatically. I literally could not guide myself or MR around this one, take me to an asylum and I'll show you where everything is before I learn where I am. But this, completely baffled. So here's...

The history I couldn’t find much about this place on the internet, only brief snippets, so I’ll give you what I know A new £30 million QEII Hospital in Welwyn Garden City, opened fully to patients on 15 June 2015. Once this has happened, the old hospital was closed and the land on which it...

I couldn't find any history on this at all, but from what i know it was apart of the old Queen Charlottes hospital site. all of it is demolished apart from the incinerator and a fancy building (now flats i think) round the corner from it.

Not got round to posting this but I thought I'd share it. QE is a university hospital in Birmingham, largely built in the 1930's deco style. Clebby had noticed that some work was going on around parts of the hospital, and it looked as if the older part may be closing. Well it transpired that in...

The Coffee Queen Espresso shop is a cafe situated inside the Chancery Lane Arcade in Christchurch, New Zealand. Constructed in 1862, the site of Chancery Lane began life as a small street comprising of three small wooden buildings, however, the lane wasn't formally named until 1882. From 1882...

This hospital has a really cool history behind and worth having a quick read through if someone has a spare moment. There was quite a few reports on the place and I probably wouldn't bother with posting it, but me and Pinkman were probably one of the last people to ever visit the side as it is...

Queen Elizabeth Hospital for Children Chilled out explore with a non member. This place is in a pretty bad state but still fun to have a mooch about. Forgot my tripod so just shitty handheld flash photos. History: The Queen Elizabeth Hospital for Children in London was formed from the...
