Opened in 1896 and operated under several names over the years;
Ormskirk Dispensary & Cottage Hospital
Ormskirk General Hospital
Brandreth Hospital
In the mid-90’s the hospital closed and became the Ormskirk campus of West Lancashire College, who moved out a few years ago leaving the site vacant. The current planning application will see the former hospital converted into flats after an earlier plan to demolish it was withdrawn.
Another one we swung by on the way home from Scotland. Basically a big, soggy, modernised derp, its redeeming feature being the former children's ward which still has all its original tiling in place.
Starting with the best bit...
This room still resembled a small ward
The only other reference to its hospital days I found
Former college photography room

That was about it, worth a look if you like tiles anyway!
