Visited with Tbolt, ZerO81 and the fashionable young whippet known only as The Underdog.
Opening in 1877 as a workhouse known as Dearnley with the addition of an infirmary in 1902, Birch Hill became a hospital in 1948 and finally closed in January 2013.
With the vast majority of the buildings now demolished, the last part of the building including its clock tower sits surrounded by a residential building site.
Time for a mooch, this place is all about the clock tower.
And up to the clock tower.....
but I'm not sure if this one is better in B&W????
Anyway, a nice simple potter - 9/10 (just for the clock tower).
