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...

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...

Certainly at the top of the list of splores this, without a doubt worth the trip! All be it only 20 mins away, for some of us anyway �� The day started early and after some very useful hints from a fellow explorer we walked straight into the hospital with no trouble at all, best of all the...

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...

Evening All, Been awhile since i posted a report but seeing as everyone else is going here, i thought it would be rude not to show my face. MrDan and Sweetpea were already there and i was at work. So i booked afew hours holiday at work to go check this place out haha. Bit of history: Opened...

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...
