      Not a million miles away was the old Netley military hospital, that was the daddy of all hospitals.
      Ive read that when the American army used Netley in WW2, the corridors were so big, they drove jeeps up and down to save walking.

      @@VacantHaven yes I used to be a nurse and the hospital I worked in they closed so many sections down and it only had one floor running and it was used for a rehabilitation program but they are now doing it back up and reopening it back into a normal hospital again they found that they needed more beds as all the other hospitals are full I’m glad that they are doing this as it was still fairly modern inside.

      I agree with you. I find it so sad how some developers have no care what so ever about historical things. They call it progress which I think is bull crap but at the same time they are erasing important history by all their destruction . I have seen it so many times in some cities that I have lived in. One day all will be lost and that is sad

    Cool explore. Loving the channel
    It was weird hearing you say the hospital is old, Im from canada and we have functional in use hospitals here in similar conditions. If that was here, they would probably still be using it.
    The hospital i had my eye surgery in the other week, was so old they still had the old school marble walls & decorative molded ceilings. The old "air tube" message system was still there, but locked off. I snuck around the ancient creepy basement before getting caught and claiming I got lost looking for the cafeteria lol

    Back in 1991 we used to go to the Holloway sanatorium in Virginia water, it had been abandoned for many years,but we used to get in and spend hours exploring it,it was absolutely massive we also found padded cell's, the sheer size of this place was totally insane, pardon the pun,i believe it closed in 1980,it was a stunning gothic building, it was fully renovated in the mid to late 90's,it had huge stone staircases,tapestry on the walls the list goes on, really getting in to your channel, absolutely brilliant,and huge room's with rows of beds in.

Just a quick cautionary note to all. Some of the basement areas were riddled with asbestos even brown so please observe any signage if you go down. Keep up the good work.
