This is a small hospital which is due to be demolished to make way for a new one - there was a lead on here recently.
I suspect many people don’t even know it’s there since the buildings are mostly low and hidden behind walls and trees.
There’s only one decent building, a listed house (Mossley House) which became an American Red Cross hospital during WW1 and will be retained.
However I left Mossley House alone and just did about half the remaining small buildings, mainly those on the east of the site.
These are single storey shacks dating from the 1940s or early 1950s when it was a Ministry of Pensions hospital.
Pictures are ordered from north to south, starting with the boiler house.
Unfortunately this was taped-up for asbestos removal, so nothing to see except a couple of side rooms and the stores next door.
The rest is mostly just a lot of corridors and empty rooms.
We are now behind Mossley House in an area with the main kitchen and what used to be the pharmacy.
This apparently has nice tiles around the door outside, but I didn’t look since it was also next to security’s caravan.
So much as expected really - a modernised hospital in the process of being stripped out for demolition.
The last time I passed more of the buildings at the western end of the site had gone.
