Report - Olive mount Hospital - Sept 20

[Bikin Glynn]

​

Sorry Nicked from @urbanchemist report.
The main house was originally built (ca 1790) for a merchant and subsequently had various owners before ‘cottage houses’ for orphaned children were built in its grounds (ca 1900).
These was modelled on the cottage houses in Fazakerley in Liverpool, the place with the nice hall and clocktower (which is still derelict).
The main house became a children’s hospital in the 1940s, then from 1991 on was used by the NHS as offices.
The main building closed its doors in 2015 that I can confirm!

The rest of the building is pretty mundane but does have a few interesting features.

But its mainly about that stairwell

Thanks for looking

Thanks guys its nice & hope it will be saved, but unfortunately water was pouring in the day we were there, I had a nightmare trying to take shots straight up under stairs cos I kept getting water spots so I guess its days are numbered!
