I know this place has been done a lot... I just had to go and have a look before it is potentially demolished and turned into flats...
This place was built in 1856 originally as Melton Union Workhouse later becoming a hospital and then St Mary's Hospital under the NHS in 1948.
The main workhouse building has been added to so many times it was actually delisted in 2000 and had its Grade II status taken away!
There is still a small mortuary and Victorian Vagrancy Cells at the East side of the site.
Unfortunately although it was easy to get on the site there are a lot of cameras and every door and window is now very well boarded...the Vagrancy Cells are no longer open which was a real shame.If anyone has been recently and wants to share a way in with me please message me. You have no idea how disappointed I am that I couldnt get in and see the cells!
