Durham County Hospital
Finally I can report on this one now that it's been exposed by somebody else within the 28dl community, as you may all be aware they have been quite a few politics around this one, and I was asked by the people I explored here with to keep it hush hush, which I have done solely out of respect for these people. However the cat's out of the bag now, so I'm free to share with you all!
The Explore
Ok so I visited this one with Borolad and members of the 'facebook crew' as they're known on here (Good bunch of guys and girls really), and it's an ok explore, a few nice bits and pieces among a sea of empty gutted rooms, the morgue been the highlight in pristine nick!

Cheers for looking guy's as always, and hopefully no one kicks off about this, as I have kept my word to all parties involved.

On an elevated point in the City of Durham, is a spacious building of stone, supported by donations and public subscriptions and erected in 1853, in the Elizabethan style, at a cost of £7,500, and will hold 44 patients. In 1867 male and female convalescent wards were added at a cost of £2,400 as a memorial of the late Dean Waddington, who in 1865 contributed £2,000 to the funds of the hospital, and subsequently a further sum of £2,000, and finally bequeathed by will £6,000 more. Additional wards were added by the late John Eden esq., of Beamish Park, who gave a sum of £2,000 towards their erection, and bequeathed a further sum of £10,000. These were opened December 2, 1886. There is now ROOM for 50 patients. Source: Kelly's Directory 1910
