Eerie pictures have emerged uncovering an abandoned hospital in the UK. The derelict building is 120-years-old and includes a defunct children’s surgical theatre and its equipment. Surprisingly, some lights are still working.
Freelance photographer, 24-year-old Jordan L, from London, scoured Tyrone County Hospital, in Market Street, Omagh, Northern Ireland for three hours.
The facility was ditched back in 2017 after being replaced by a modern one. But rather than bringing down the old building, the new hospital just took over the services, leaving the original one to slowly turn into ruins.
Jordan says the building was creepy, inducing thoughts of kids suffering and dying in the facility.
But it also left her surprised at the lack of graffiti and all the equipment that was left in perfect condition.
She said: “It was a very different experience as it’s unusual to find abandoned hospitals that aren’t badly covered in graffiti and that have so much stuff left.
“The children’s ward and operating theatres were a little creepy knowing that kids were operated on in there.
“I really loved finding the intact operating theatres with the huge surgical lights left behind.”
In 1796, an infirmary was established on Market Street in Omagh, marking the humble beginnings of the hospital. Eventually, in 1899, it was relocated to Hospital Road.
