**Belvoir Hospital NI ... The place that time forgot. **
Today i took a trip to Belvoir Hospital, This is a Northern Ireland Hospital that closed in 2006 it was a cancer /fever hospital
I got up to the hospital slightly late (around 4) so i didnt have much day light for my first trip.
I have heard alot and seen photos but nothing compares to seeing it for yourself. Its like the place has been frozen in time. Everything just how it was left the day it was shut. Its exactly what you would think of a 'ghost town'.
I only touched the surface today. I am yet to see the iron lung or the bio-hazard tents.
Here is a few photos from the day.
The gate house
Errie mist when photo taken..happens in a few others.
Changing area
Untouched Desk
Courtyard view
Left keys
Staff Register
X-rays
Someone even left there jacket.. i wonder why?
Moturay clothing.. See label
Files...
A Kitchen and dinning room.
Controlled area.
Building view
External walkway.(strange haze again)
Radiation Area.
Fire control
I couldnt resist a look...
.
Thats all for now. The one thing i will say is the place is fully powered all light computers equipment still works. Strange...

Re: **Belvoir Hospital NI ... The place that time forgot. **
Cool photos, i too love walking around old buildings like that, mine are usually pubs(not on same scale as hospital) that have been shut for years. It's amazing like you said things that some people leave behind.
Always astounds me to equipment etc that's left. From a professional level just the couple of photos of the kitchen/dining areas you took there are a few pieces of catering equipment that many a place would pay good money for.
Just out of interest how did you get access to it(or should i not ask!?) as there seems to be alot of patient info left there, thinking data protection.
Also were you tempted to open and smell the milk in that fridge One of those things i KNOW i shouldn't do when looking around closed pubs is smell food/drink but i just have to Worst ever was a bucket of parsley in water my god i thought i was going to die.

Re: **Belvoir Hospital NI ... The place that time forgot. **
It took me a couple of months of 'pestering' folk to gain access.
Eventualy i was handed a large set of keys and sent on my way.
I only scraped the surface.. On my return i will have done more planning. Aimming to see the isolation tents, Morgue (sp), Iron Lungs, operating rooms (Im told the med cupboards are still full) and the deep and untouched WW2 air raid shelters.
The adrenaline rush moving through a building like this alone is unreal. A scale up from a pub!

Some pubs give me the creeps so that place would. I'd still love to wander round it though, i think you should organise a meet there looking at the response to this thread you'd have a large take up

Thats not really possible. Its a one man mission and thats how i plan to keep it. Part of the excitment of urban exploring.

Re: **Belvoir Hospital NI ... The place that time forgot. **
Those are fantastic pictures and remind me very much of the Hospital in the Lancashire where I first started working for the NHS.
A lot of the things were built to the same design and whilst perfect for their use at the time they now look ridiculous.
There is something I find strangely attractive about them though, I could wander around a place like that for hours, perhaps even days without getting bored.
