St Stephens Hospital was completed in 1954 under the then Minister for Health Doctor Noel Browne. Built as a Tuberculosis Sanatorium it stands high above the surrounding township, however it now serves as a local psychiatric hospital providing various services to Cork City. There are several residential units onsite and CAMHS operate their services from here too.
There is actually an adjoining chapel of rest and small service chapel but it is currently locked up unfortunately. Its on the other side of these doors...
Heading through into the main mortuary are a couple of other little rooms, containing various different bits
I loved this old telephone
There is actually three slabs in this one, two of them are separated by a small dividing wall and are just open to the corridor. They don't have any fluid drainage systems and seem to be hard moulded plastic. I've not personally seen any tables like this before and this isn't the first mortuary I've visited. If anyone knows their purpose, let me know.
And then the main mortuary
Thanks for looking!
