Walkergate Hospital , Newcastle - August 2013

[Jep27]

Walkergate Hospital in Newcastle opened in the 1880's, it was originally a hospital for infectious diseases. During the First World War injured soldiers who were sent home were temporarily housed in the two pavilions at the east end of the site, these were demolished in 1979. In the Second World War the hospital fell victim to bombing. In more recent years the hospital had an ENT department, x-ray and a small theatre.. Various parts of the hospital closed over the years, with the announcement that the final two wards, that provided longer term palliative care for patients with chronic conditions and shorter term respite care, would close during the summer of 2011. The demo was already well underway when we visited.

Yeah I thought that too, going back and forth to keep the light out. I had to end my visit early as someone turned up in a van and started loading it with wood and stuff but from what I could see the other building was missing it's roof anyway so probably not worth looking at. Shame because I packed and left so couldn't grab any externals
