East Fortune Hospital. Oct2013

[abandoned world]

East fortune hospital, people believe to be haunted it does have a strange silence to it but if there were any ghosties there i wouldnt of seen them was too busy taking pictures ha.

East Fortune The area is known for its airfield which was constructed in 1915 to help protect Britain from attack by German Zeppelin airships during the First World War. The RNAS airship station also included an airship hangar. In 1919 the British airship R34 made the first airship crossing of the Atlantic, flying from East Fortune to Mineola, The runway is now used for a car boots on sundays.

In 1922 several buildings and an area of land were used to create East Fortune Hospital. This served as a tuberculosis sanatorium for the south east region of Scotland until the onset of World War II. The airfield was then brought back into service as RAF East Fortune, initially a training airfield, and the hospital patients were transferred to Bangour Hospital in West Lothian. The hospital re-opened after the war, but by 1956, as the number of tuberculosis patients began to fall, the hospital changed its function to house the mentally handicapped. In 1997, the hospital closed down, and its patients were transferred to Roodlands Hospital in Haddington.

Really cool explore my favourite so far i could spend days just wandering around here. But if you go take a mask :/ lots of asbestos.

some nice pics, when I went couldnt get in any of the buildings.

Not a criticism but an observation, the processing on the last few is a touch at the art end of the spectrum of HDR
