Report - St Peters Mortuary, Chertsey, November 2014

[Urban Diaries]

History:
Originally St.Peter's was build to serve casualties of the second world war. The mortuary was built in the 1940's on the edge of the site; after the extensive redevelopment of the site, the mortuary was found to be too small to cope with the increase in cadavers. The mortuary was shut down in April 2009 and moved to the new building located central to the main hospital.

The Explore:
I visited this site with fellow 28DL member Slayaaaa, we actually visited another site very close to the mortuary and decided to hit this one whilst we were in the area. For me this site had a very odd feel to it, it was very morbid and yet very serene.
It is a shame about the condition of the site now, however it is still on my list for revisits. I hope you enjoy my photos.

Nice one! Your photos really show the place quite well. This was almost the best place I've ever been to... Thanks again!

Nice little place this Mortuary if a little wet and smelling of piss

Any other shots of the slabs? it would benefit the report IMO as it"s all about the Slabs & Fridges

Thought I'd add a few, only just got round to uploading. Wouldn't usually as it's been done a crazy amount of times but I loved this place too much...

Tables

It's encouraging to know they have these on the fridges, people 'occasionally' wake up... (http://www.thestar.com/news/world/2011/07/26/dead_man_wakes_up_after_21_hours_in_morgue_fridge.html)

Foster fridges are the best kind of fridges

Nice old doors

Biohazard

Chapel

Inside

So you can change the temperature of the water in case the bodies complain of it burning them.

Nice old flaky room

Nice sign

Love getting in them there fridges

Cheers.
