   This is our fifth stop...   

The main hospital reception is the next suite of buildings along the line from "The Centre"...
 

This clearly ISN'T the main entrance to reception however!

 

Much of this area was partially demolished before the bats intervened...

 

Much of this part of the hospital has only one floor, this part being the exception...
 

What an interesting colour!

 
The ceiling looks a bit dodgy!

 
A bit of a pointer to it being a reception area...
 
Secure access...
 
There's nothing like stating the obvious!
 
This room doesn't look too bad...
 
There's even a few intact panes of glass!
 
And then things go down hill once more...
 
Wet floors, peeling paper, abject dereliction...
 
Clearly the place where power resided!
 
Staff access? It's a bit narrow for the public...
 
Look just left of centre at the brown "blob" on the wall...
 
It's a winding handle...
 
That opens the skylight above...
 
I wonder where Sylvia is now?
 
Not here, that's for sure!
 
The bus stop is in better nick than most of the hospital!
