Glen o'Dee Hospital - 07/2010

[ZombieSazza]

A quick visit by TheSurveyor and I, didn't get internal shots of the Hospital itself as this wasn't planned and I don't know access points but have interior shots of some of the Staff Houses. Feel free to chuck in the bin if it's not of interest though

Nicked the hubbies camera and the flash gun so apologies if anything is a bit uber bright as this was the first time I'd used one.

A little history.

The original building was built in 1900 and started its life as Nordrach on Dee Hospital, a sanctuary for tuberculosis patients. When TB died down it served as a luxury hotel (when it became "Glen O' Dee"), but was taken over during the war to serve as a billet for troops. It reprised its role in contagious diseases when the typhoid epidemic hit nearby Aberdeen in the 1960s, but its last use was as a residential home for the elderly. The original building closed in 1998, when a new purpose built building was built on the same site.

The original building has been featured on the BBC's Restoration programme, but it has sat empty and deteriorating since 1998.

As I said, if it's not really what the forums after just chuck it in the bin
