Wolverhampton Royal Hospital
Where? Wolverhampton. Photos 48. Comments 8. Posted 24 January 2008.
Wolverhampton hospital opened in 1849, thanks to some local businessmen who decided that the town needed a hospital. Over the years it expanded, with new wings and operating facilities being built. It finally closed in 1997 when a new out-of-town hospital was built. Ten years later the buildings sit rotting away in Wolverhampton's city centre, suffering at the hands of vandals, vagrants and arsonists. Tesco apparently own the site, and work has begun on some regeneration in the area...
If you're interested in reading more about the hospital then this website has a far more detailed history.
