We visited this place a couple of months ago but it was being posted everywhere so left it a couple of months. The tile room was the big attraction for most people but I quite liked the rest of the place, mainly the early morning lighting in the empty corridors and some of the odd staircases and strangely shaped rooms.
History - Ormskirk Dispensary was established in 1797. The Dispensary and Cottage Hospital opened in Hants Lane in 1896. An extension was built in 1928, by which time it was known as the Ormskirk General Hospital and Dispensary. It seems to have evolved into the Brandreth Hospital. Administered by a Committee until absorbed into the NHS in 1948, the hospital then came under the aegis of the Ormskirk and District Hospital Management Committee, subsequently the Ormskirk Health District of the Lancashire Area Health Authority, and later the West Lancashire Health Authority. After Closing as a hospital it was last used as the Ormskirk site of West Lancashire College.
Thanks for looking.
