Founded in 1914, Alder Hey is the largest Children's Hospital in the UK and one of the largest in Europe. A brand new hospital opened next door to replace the old buildings, and the patients were moved across on Wednesday! We didn't hang around and got over to Liverpool to have a look.
As you would imagine, there is still plenty of activity on site. Staff are busy moving out all the old stuff, and there are CCTV cameras literally everywhere! Most of the rooms are locked off from the main corridors making it difficult to get around once inside. Luckily we managed to get into the operating theatres; there are plenty of other bits that we didn't get to see during this visit, and we left the morgue for others to find
Demolition will take place next year and the area will be developed into parkland. I'm looking forward to seeing more from here as the place changes over the coming months.
