A little Mortuary, Wakefield. July 2014

A little Mortuary.

Part of a larger hospital complex which I've had eyes on since it closed some years ago. I'd wandered around it on many occasions although it was always tight with a security office still inside, even went as far as asking the security chap for a visit once, which of course was denied. 

The mortuary is small, yet well formed and well decayed, built some time in the late 1950's I'd guess, with the typical sub-stationesque utilitarian civic box design seen regularly. Like many Victorian hospitals, bits and pieces have been added to this one over time until the overall form has become a mass of clag on additions from different eras, very messy. 

There was access to the main hospital, I had a brief look inside but it wasn't worth photographing due to general NHS blandness and modernisation.
