Report - Seacroft Hospital, Leeds - July 2021

[stranton]

Visited during 2020 with @catbalou , unfortunately the building wasn't accessible.
Then returning July 2021 with @coolboyslim & @GRONK , fortunately the building was accessible so we gained access.
The building is in a bad way, there's evidence of pikies, chavs & a lot of damage or destruction
but managing to get some nice photographs.
The clock, water tower are well sealed.

Seacroft hospital opened in 1904, on the land of the former Menston hall.
Caring for patients with infectious diseases, with a capacity of 482, the hospital became part of the national health service in 1948.
A catering unit opened in September 2002 providing meals to all the surrounding hospitals,
a Specialist Rehabilitation unit opened in June 2006.
During 2008 a lot of the original buildings were demo'd as they were in a poor state,
part of the site was sold to the homes and communities agency during 2014.
the remaining buildings inc the administration & grade 2 listed clock, water tower.

Those pillars are quite ornate. Looks like a good explore. Such a shame the clock tower is inaccessible, great shot of it though.
