The Hidden Glasgow Forums

A couple of views of the west facade, concealed by the 1930s build on Church Street. I had completely forgotten that the chapel would have been visible from the street for a few years.

Ariel views hugely different from the streetview Have a look at Law Hospital... that's really crazy: 55.759034, -3.855989 The default photo must be from around 2001 as there are still cars parked all over the grounds.

As you say Dazza, many of the patients went out to live in the community where, sadly, many were left to 'sink or swim' on their own, partly through lack of staff numbers to support them. I was in the Isle of Man at the time, but kept in touch with folk I trained with and, as it happens, my OH used...

Most of them have closed over the span of may career as well :( Few are still in use or the sites are: Eye Infirmary is now of course the Sandyford, Sexual and Reproductive Health Clinic Mearnskirk Hospital Site, still has a small long stay unit on that site (how the HB got round selling off most o...
