Thanks for everything. I know saying it on every image can make it seem insincere, but I really mean it. I enjoy sharing pictures with all of you.
The hospital was commissioned by the Southport Strangers Charity who established it using voluntary donations in Lord Street in 1806. It became the Southport Dispensary in 1823.
After the existing premises became too small, it moved to a new purpose-built building designed by Thomas Withnell in the Gothic Revival style in Seabank Road in 1853. Its name changed again when it was extended and became the Southport Convalescent Hospital and Sea-Bathing Hospital in 1862. It was extended again to a design by Paull and Bonella in 1881.
It served as a military hospital during both world wars. It joined the National Health Service in 1948 and developed as a treatment centre for patients with acute medical conditions, spinal injuries and orthopedic injuries. After the spinal injuries unit transferred to the Southport General Infirmary in 1988, the hospital finally closed in 1990.
The hospital, which is a Grade II listed building, was subsequently converted into luxury apartments and is now known as Marine Gate Mansions.

In the restored chapel of a 12th-century hospital building with superb timber beamwork, this museum shows various torturous-looking medical implements, hospital sedan chairs and a gruesome 1679 painting of an anatomy class. But it's much better known for its six masterpieces by 15th-century artist Hans Memling, including the enchanting reliquary of St Ursula. This gilded oak reliquary looks like a miniature Gothic cathedral, painted with scenes from the life of St Ursula, including highly realistic Cologne cityscapes.
The largest of the Memlings on display is the triptych of St John the Baptist and St John the Evangelist, commissioned by the hospital church as its altarpiece. Look out for St Catherine (with spinning wheel) and St Barbara, both seated at the feet of the Virgin. The artist's secular portrayals are just as engrossing as the devotional work, and include the delicate Portrait of a Young Woman (1480), in which the subject's hands rest on the painted frame of her portrait.
Heading for L-P on the "Hospital branch" in Newberry with 4151 and 2253 is WC job LO-42. This is one of the few times I shot a train on the branch although it seen service nearly every day back in WC days and still sees service a few times a week even in the CN era. November 12, 2000.
A hospital ward, could be anywhere I would think. It is functional too, as long as you know what kind of functions are included or excluded. Is a "sense of beauty" functional? Is a piece of art included in the functions offered by a hospital? A flower perhaps? Small things can make a big difference. Most important is the other thing one cannot see in this picture - the humanity of the hospital staff and the person-to-person contact between nurses, doctors and patients. Whatever the architecture.

The University Hospital Aachen, planned from 1968 and built until 1985, is one of the largest hospitals in Germany with almost 6,600 rooms. The enormous dimensions resulted from the concept of combining all medical sub-disciplines as well as research and teaching in one building.
The main building has a length of 257 m and a width of 134 m and is accessed vertically via 24 stairwell shafts 54 m high. The stairwell shafts protrude 9 m from the eight-storey building sections, creating a castle-like impression. The building was constructed as a reinforced concrete skeleton structure, with the stairwell cores made of in-situ concrete and slip formwork. The remaining components were precast concrete elements.
For sure, this project is certainly not a typical example of “classic” concrete brutalism. The brutalist aspect here arises in particular from the fact that the construction method was left visible on the façade without any cladding, as was the building technology, which is prominently displayed, for example, by the exhaust pipes marked with yellow rings. Thanks to this design, the enormous building is regarded as a representative of high tech architecture, to which the Centre Pompidou in Paris also belongs.

For those of you that have been following my stream for a while, you know my mother has been having some health issues the past year.
For the last eight months she has been steadily improving. This past week she has had a set back.
So for the majority of the weekend this has been me.
I'll be back eventually.
I used to work here. This hospital unfortunately was closed a few years ago because it was over 100 years old.

Patio interior del Hospital Tavera, en Toledo. Supongo que es una imagen muy habitual, pero no podía resistirme a esa línea de arcos. La luz del sol era muy potente, me recordaba a la luminosidad típica del Mediterráneo.
