The Model Map42 viewsIf every cloud has a silver lining - this site's is that the sales centre (where they are desperately trying to flog off their new houses) has very detailed models and maps of where we are!
We talk with the salesman for a while, he tells us that when the project first started each flat was for sale for at least £140,000... Today he was pushing us to take one for £100,000 and I got the impression we could have talked him down. Economic Recession = a buyer's market.
Anyways, looking at this cute wee model (with the listed buildings in white), I identified the following:
1 - The original administration building
2 - The medical superintendent's residences
3 - The kitchens
4 - The original X-Ray pavilion and wards (http://www.turbozutek.f2s.com/thumbnails.php?album=60)
5 - The Acute Admissions (Triage) building
6 - The Panda Centre
7 - The Women and Children Unit
8 - Ross House (the subject of today's assize)
* - Fuck knows, these currently don't exist or have been knocked down.

The Hospital151 viewsThe Hospital awaits us - closed in 2005 after a fairly damming report into patient care.

TeleGlobe48 viewsMostly when exploring, you tend to find the interesting and noteworthy things AFTER you enter a building and have a look. TeleGlobe's most noticeable feature is 35 meters in size and couldn't be more obvious if it fell on you! I can only imagine how outstanding this would have been to view while still intact.
AWESOME!!
I wanna climb it!
|
|
The HallWay26 viewsBack in the hospital! So nice to have some decent light to work with this time around!

But who!?
