The Explore
Having tried this place before and being caught before I even started we decided to go back a few months later and give it another go.. Its quite a personal one for me with two of my cousins working there and countless friends and family having links with the hospital. I also had my arm plastered here when I was a kid and got a lollipop for my bravery!
Knowing there was security inside it was a very quiet explore but good fun...
The History
Alder Hey started out in 1914 and is now one of the largest hospitals of its kind specialising in the care and treatment of children.
During the First World War, the United States Army established Camp Hospital 40 on the site, operated by Hospital Unit Q and, subsequently, Unit W. American sources commonly refer to Alder Hey as being within Liverpool's Knotty Ash area.
The hospital became an NHS hospital trust in 1991. It currently employs about 2,400 staff and treats over 270,000 children from across the UK each year.
In August 2008 the Royal Liverpool Children's NHS Trust became an NHS foundation trust and changed its name.
In October 2015 the NHS moved the entire hospital into the new purpose built "Super Hospital" located approximately 200 meters away.
