st mary's hospital Stannington - a look back

[Sandman]

As I seem to have earned the title of "king of St Mary's" and now that demo work is well and truley underway I thought I would take an opertunity to post up a load of shots I've taken over the years.

Now according to one of the guest books the earliest dated visit I made was back in 2007. This maybe an early visit and cant garentee it was the first but from the date I've been making the 45 minute commute for nearly 3 years now.

I've been over , under and around all the main buildings and have still been supprised by new rooms being opened up or new sites seen with almost ever visit.

So here we go and in no particular order. Some shots arnt the best but have been included for the compleatnes of the thing or because they bring back memories for me or just because I like them.

Enjoy.
