The Night Climbers of Cambridge
Visited with Urban Shadow and friends, this little hospital near Glasgow cared for chronically ill patients from 1876 to it's closure in 1995. The condition is now ruinous - you have to be very careful as the floors are falling in all over the place.
It was once a very elegant building:
With big south-facing sun lounges for the patients:
Inside, this is one of the less-decayed rooms:
Wards still have beds in place, though:
With all the windows broken, the sun lounges are now growing a fine crop of moss:
In a cupboard, a reminder of old methods of patient care:
I didn't look inside:
Next to the x-ray machine:
The kitchens have seen better days:
In the laundry, a hand-knitted child's jumper:
There's also a fine collection of graffiti - other signs read "Dog's Inside" and "Plague", but this was my favourite:
More pictures are, as usual, in my Flickr set...
