West Park - Creche 1by `KellyJane

Photography / Architecture / Interior

Please refer to the West Park title page for history on the West Park Hospital.

Our first entry point on the site was the creche. First impressions were regarding just how much STUFF had been left behind! Things that would have been perfectly useful if they had been removed from the building when it had been closed down. Such an insane amount of needless waste...

This changing table was found in a room with countless other changing mats. A changing room for the babies on site, I am guessing. The walls in this section of the hospital were all peeling, with painted figured of animals and cartoon characters adorning them.

I will not reveal how to enter this building, nor any other. Urban exploration is a dangerous hobby. Unsafe flooring, collapsing ceilings, asbestos, needles and decay are all present in these environments. Please exercise extreme caution if you choose to go urban exploring yourself.

I work as an art tech/site support at a secondary school atm, and it is shocking how much stuff is either left/destroyed during rebuilds...we tried to keep hold of anything we could reuse in the Art department during a recent rebuild then came back after the summer break to discover management had had the lot of it destroyed because they couldn't be bothered to get it moved across...not only was that a huge waste, it ended up costing them an extra couple of grand to get new equipment u_u.

*hands her the soapbox back*

Did you use a flash on your camera to get these pics? I only ask as they're all much more fluidly lit than I normally manage (mind you...I have no skill whatsoever xDD).

Yes, most of them used flash. Lighting in there was very poor

Ah I see, cheers for letting me know ^^. I should really splash out on a less barebones flash now I have a camera again. It's a bit like 'flash off: Blackness, flash on: ARGH BLINDNESS!' atm.

Oh and in hindsight sorry for the rant

. The governmental approach to reusing equipment makes me a sad panda.
