There's something so surreal and eeire about the children's ward building especially. It feels like they just packed up and left.. Actual goosebumps.
The big machine in the laundry room is for pressing and folding sheets, two operators either side fed the laundered sheet in at one end, it passed through several large rollers then came out the other end dry, pressed and folded
Brilliant, thanks for letting us know
@Urbandoned I know this is off topic but I have some more suggestions for buildings in ireland particularly galway such as the connemara gateway hotel and the spinnaker hotel. If u want anymore suggestions for galway or ireland as a whole just let me know
It is possible that where the autoclave was, the “Lab” looking area could be the sterile preparation area as even today they’re often built in the basement.
I was a sterile services surgical instrument technician for 5 years in a modern hospital (West Midlands) England. A very large hospital with over 30 theatres and our unit was large so it had its own building, we had 5 very large Autoclaves built into the wall, they were full length the same height as a standard door, plus another for robotic/heat sensitive instruments/devices. A big decontamination room with 6 huge washers and then a separate room that was very large which was the sterile room where we inspect the instruments for debris and damage before assembling each kit for surgery (some kits can have 100 items in) we would study and learn the instrument names and how they work and what to look for and covered every surgical specialty right from teeth to eyes, cardiac, Neurology and orthopaedics and robotic surgery right through to caesarean and neonatal.
The sterile room where we did inspection and assembly, we also wrap the trays or heavy kits for orthopaedics with mallets, chisels and power tools would be sealed In tins in that big roommate, some instruments get oiled or assembled if they’re in multiple parts - it would look a lot like a lab in some aspects.
Often, including the hospital that existed before the one I worked at was built the Sterile Services (instrument cleaning) units are built in the basement of the hospital. Many of the people I worked with had been doing the fob 20-25+ years and they would tell me stories of working down in the basements. Even now all over the world sterile service units are positioned in the basement, people don’t know they exist, but without them the hospital cannot function.
Trying to find footage of Queen's Hospital, Croydon, the former Croydon Workhouse, before it was demolished. Worked in there when it was derelict in the early to mid-90's, and it was bloody creepy.
Another fantastic video. Really outstanding work at every stage of production. I'm afraid you guys still don't quite get the viewing numbers you deserve, but I feel like although you may not get a lot of people watching in a short period, over the longer term you will get a constant flow of people watching - long after "trendier" channels will lie forgotten.
I really admire all of your dedication!
Appreciate this comment, because I feel like making an online catalogue of abandoned locations that can be used as resource in the future is a massive reason for making the videos for us. Thank you for the nice words
Another great video guys ive subscribe really enjoy them .Dont know which one of you narrates but just the right tone ..all the best keep safe 🏴🇬🇧
It’s so lovely to see UK locations with research and thought put into every upload
Thank you, that's the idea!
Ireland 🇮🇪
The pictures of the grounds and buildings in this explore reminded me of Kingseat Psychiatric Hospital in Karaka, South Auckland, New Zealand. The wards were individual buildings referred to as Villas 1, 2, 3 etc
Opened in 1932 and closed in 1999. 2005 it opened as 'Spookers Haunted Attraction' and a paintball arena.
Thank you for your interesting explore - there are so many similarities.
Cool to hear of the similarities. Thanks for sharing :)
I’m from Northern Ireland and so have really enjoyed seeing some familiar locations on your channel. I think we had a heatwave while you were here filming these.
Great to hear. More from the entirety of Ireland coming soon
love
I watch lots of abandoned video channels but I must say lads yours are way ahead and the best already looking forward to the next one 👍
Thank you very much, see you in two weeks!
Brilliant explore as usual lads that old equipment was fascinating glad they are renovating the buildings to.
They were used for treating polio, not polo 16:22 Most polo overdoses have been handled by A&E departments since the early 1910s. 👍
Thanks for infoming us. I may have just missed the 'i' whilst scripting the narration
@@Urbandoned no worries, nobody is perfect. It is interesting mental imagery that they'd be treating people for polo (addiction?) 😜
It's called the iron lung
Very eerie
Great job, guys, as always. Love your production work with your videos. Great camera work, narrative, editing, etc., including a bit of history about the site makes it all that much more interesting. Just about the best urbex presentation work on here along with the Proper People guys here in the US (where I live). Very professional looking work. My only (minor) complaint would be the clicking of the aperture ring on the camera that's a bit distracting but that's me being picky (I used to be in commercial radio as a DJ and engineer so that's my bit of being obsessive/compulsive). Always look forward to your next explore. Thanks for exploring such fascinating places.
Always great being compared with those guys! Thank you very much, we have fixed the aperture ring by now, but this video and others were filmed in 2021. You'll be glad to hear it doesn't happen anymore :)
@@Urbandoned That was just my observation, minor in the whole scheme of things but, great! Anyway, I really do enjoy your videos, so very informative and not the usual statement of the obvious. Great work! Thank for the reply.
you all did a amazing job with amazing places to visit, thank you all for that and for the great quality of your videos. Well done guys !!😵💫😎
Much appreciated, more on the way!
Thanks guys I live in Dublin and your Ireland exploration has been been hugely interesting especially the trip to St itas in portran which i had the opportunity to look around myself dont live to far away 👍
Glad you have enjoyed them!
Great explore!
Thank you for a very interesting explore 👍
It is shocking what the past 14 years have done to the UK. Blair wasn’t good either.
They were still using phenol disinfectant. Autoclaves are becoming less common today as a lot of single-use equipment is used for working with tissue in any form (prions..)
Sensible to wear PPE, even if it is damp. The rot isn’t healthy either, the fibrous material is the main concern. I have it at home too, it is very common.. Changing clothes and PPE I‘d think should be mandatory or the car fabric will become similar like the shrouds around the piping -.^
Amazing equipment. You did a great job of capturing it!
It is Belvoir, but pronunced beaver, lol.
Made me giggle, too.
@@Andy-185 Haha, I had no idea! Probably should have checked
Superb find, me and my team provided comms in to his place in the 2000's. It also had the ambulance 999 response I think.
Great explore but at the same time sad all these hospitals are being converted into flats for property speculators as waiting lists get longer. Keep up the good work
Received your magazines the other day, great purchase
Glad you like it!
Another quality explore lads.
Thanks :)
Thanks for a another cracking video and explore lads, although the view from the gas tower makes my heart beat a bit faster than I would like 😂. Nice to see the buildings being put to a good second life, although I hope the capital raised from the sale goes back into the health service.
Thank you Fraser, glad you liked it
The Iron Lung was for treating people with poliomyelitis, not polo,I was born with polio, and some of us like myself got around in wheelchairs/crutches or calipers I spent years in the 60s on a polio ward in the Walker Gate hospital, there were 2 occupied I Ls on the ward
Thanks for letting me know! Apologies for the error
11:48 it says ‘Don’t go in. Run’ on the wall. Then in the clip after at the start there’s a man talking in the background??? The guy is on his own but there’s definitely talking
Interesting!!
Nice video
The machine shown at 14:04 is an old X-Ray control panel. I worked on something similar in the 1970's.
Thanks for informing us
This was a hard watch guys. That basement... the kids slide... the vials....the iron lung...just all of the medical equipment left behind. But the architecture of the outside was interesting.
I know what you mean, one of few places that we visit which genuinely felt eerie to walk around inside
List thinking about that guy who died 2 weeks ago that used the iron lung all his life.
At 17:53 is an Xray machine.
I explored all the buildings, and the best one was the last one we entered, which had all the good stuff in it. By the way, it’s pronounced “beaver,” oddly enough.
Thanks for telling me!
👍👍👍
🎉🎉🎉
😮😮😮😮
How do you know about these places?
Lots of research and staying in tune with social media and news
Looked to be natural decay.
Mostly, but a fair bit of vandalism, too
А я бы там шаурму съел острую
What I see here is Tax payers money squandered!!
Sorry…that makes no sense…machines past their useful and functional lives…basically just a waste bin…where’s the waste?
@@chrisjohnson6765 Not referring to out of date machinery more so the thousands of sample bottles I notice that so easily could have been moved on and sure they weren’t the only thing
@@chrisjohnson6765 machines that are obsolete should be recycled eather than just dumped. Waste of materials
@@bobbyrayofthefamilysmith24 Sounds pretty on a pamphlet but not in real life. The materials have little value and would cost more to salvage than their worth. Their reuse value would be fairly non-existent, but then we live in a highly-disposable consumer society, yet we throw most goods away…go figure. Perhaps we don’t walk like we talk…
@@chrisjohnson6765 that's actually not true..most electronics contain valuable metals and are worth scrapping.
trespassing and stealing. lets make a video
sounds like a plan?
