Destroyed and Abandoned

Pics of destroyed and abandoned things. Disasters, destruction, explosions, blasts, misfortunes, fires, collisions, and the aftermath. "All is as if the world did cease to exist. The city's monuments go unseen, its past unheard, and its culture slowly...

𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐇𝐨𝐮𝐬𝐞 𝐨𝐧 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐖𝐫𝐨𝐧𝐠 𝐒𝐢𝐝𝐞 𝐨𝐟 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐁𝐨𝐫𝐝𝐞𝐫 This abandoned house and caravan can be found in the lush green fields of rural Ireland and just a stone’s throw away from the border with Northern Ireland. Judging by the contents of this home, we think the previous occupants would have preferred if their property was located on the other side of the border! Full report in comments below!

General Hospital Part II

Don’t forget there is also a video walkthrough, linked here!!

For our final post, we will be looking at the emergency department as well as some other areas!!

This now abandoned hospital closed its doors permanently in early 2011 and has been sitting vacant and slowly deteriorating ever since.  The hospital was founded in 1898 and had numerous additions added throughout the years as the city around it grew in size.  In 1963 the hospital was pretty much completely rebuilt and this is evidenced by its current architectural style. In 2011 it was replaced by a more modern facility which at the time would have been state of the art and cost almost half a billion dollars.

This building along with two others nearby were bought in 2013 for $65,000.  The company converted one of the buildings into condominiums and later sold the other two in 2019.  The building’s current owner plans to turn the large former hospital into a long-term care facility but so far, as of this writing, nothing has happened at the site.

An incredible explore this building was absolutely huge with multiple floors and wings with 11 years worth of decay.  Inside, the hospital looks like a war zone in parts and has been ravaged by time, with water intruding and causing mosses to grow, walls collapsing and even the wall surrounding one of the elevator shafts had collapsed!  Although mostly emptied of its contents, the hospital did still have a chapel, a physical therapy pool as well as various large x-ray machines.  With a regular stream of visitors, whether it be kids, scrappers, homeless or even urban explorers, the local police have had their hands full! Earlier this year a group of three teenagers were inside exploring the building at night and lost their way, they ended up having to call the police to rescue them.

In Part II of this abandoned hospital, we visit some of the more interesting areas of the building, including the the emergency department, the morgue, the cafeteria and more!  In this the second part, I had a close call where I thought I was locked inside the building but you will have to watch the video to learn more about that!
