Aug 15: Decay in Chesham

Chesham Cottage Hospital, built for £865 17s 11d on land provided by Lord Chesham, opened in October 1869, just ahead of an outbreak of typhoid in 1871.
Despite a local campaign to save the hospital it closed in 2005 and is now rapidly decaying.

Sad decline of what must have been a really important site at one time.

Thank you all for your comments, I am going to have to go back to try and get inside. Just look at these shots. http://www.28dayslater.co.uk/forums/asylums-hospitals/51631-chesham-hospital-chesham-june-2010-a.html

[Karin Hirsch]

@bulldog Thank you for sharing the link, the photos show that the building is in really bad shape inside anyway.

Very sad to see, I hate this sort of decay.

Nice shot for the theme. At first I thought it didn't look so bad, but the links proved me wrong.

What a shame...looks like it was quite something in its time.

[Tremerryn]

Yes, I do hope you can, would very much like to see your shots.
