Whittingham Hospital
The former engine shed at Whittingham Hospital, which became a workshop after the railway closed in 1957. A goods line to the boiler house continued from this yard past the shed and skirted the ornamental pond as it passed through the gardens. Although this area of the site is still in NHS use most of what was once the largest asylum in the country closed in 1995 and is now derelict and awaiting clearing for residential development. See image 33240 for the same view taken around 1950. Photo taken with kind permission of NHS staff.
