After failing miserably at St Joseph’s seminary, decided to check Olive mount hospital.

The history I could find was limited
Olive mount was built in the grounds of a 18th century private residence. In 1905 it was enlarged, to designs by Edmund Kirby, with the addition of 2-storey cottages and special hospital blocks. When the Poor Law was abolished, the Olive Mount estate became a Children's Hospital, which after 1955 specialised in the care of people with learning difficulties. The disabled people's home was eventually closed down, and virtually all of the buildings were demolished in 1991. The original house - which had been used as the administrative centre of the hospital - was retained by the Health Authority as offices.

The explore

Easy enough to get onto the grounds, however access to the building was the tightest squeeze I have ever done, to the point where I thought I wouldn’t get back out.
The inside had some nice decay, the staircase roof was a nice feature, the place was generally smashed up by the local yobs, but very nice to get some shots if you’re in the area. No hassle once inside. There was another smaller building on the same site but was sealed tight. Here are some pictures:

Doesn't look to have changed much since I was there back in May, luckily I got in before the easy way was sealed up - there's no way I'd fit my frame through that gap now :rofl
