Explore:
little remains inside the building with very few items shining light on the original use of the building.
the main attraction left is the level of decay of the building, paint stripping from the walls, water and fire damage etc.
not too much else to say about the explore as it was pretty standard, quite a large building and fun to explore despite the lack of content.
History:
There is very little history I can find about this location but it was first opened in 1929.
It was known as Batley General Hospital 1929 to 1948, then changed to Batley and District General Hospital 1949 to 1951. It contiued with the same name until 1988 when it was closed for the newly built Dewsbury district hospital. From 1990 to about 1996 it was known as Carlinghow nursing home, then closed down again.
There is planning permission put forward for a girls school but has yet to be passed via council. the building suffered fire damage in the basement in 2017.
