I love the character of the old hospitals, especially Victorian built ones. I spent most of my childhood in the Pendlebury Children's Hospital in Manchester and remember vividly the long arched corridors and the long wards with beds running up either side. It isn't used anymore since moving to the MRI, but not sure if the old hospital is still there or not, I keep meaning to go and look for it every time I go to see my daughter living in Manchester but never get round to it. It's a shame they destroy these old buildings because modern buildings just look like boring boxes. Can't wait for part two Matt x
You are right about the modern buildings being just boring boxes where as the older ones have a passion that's been lost to the ages. Now it's all about function and cost over looking grand.
Wicked views matt hopefully they are redeveloping and not completly knocking it down. I do think a big part of your explores is to out fox the security guards. Brilliant hospital. 👏
Getting old matt you came over that fence like a tortoise climbing over a tomato. That digger we hired one last year it was battery operated. Great explore the final part is going to be good.
Any hospital will do but just like the old look In keeping with the buildings in the area but if they’re all new in the area build new but lets not argue about hospitals 🥴👍
Whipps Cross Hospital in East London has these walkways and similar onion towers, too, in the oldest part of the hospital, formerly the West Ham Union Infirmary.
I literally go to the school that looks over it and I always wondered what was inside so this is extra cool for me. Most of it is literally flat ground now
Matt i have a camera on my quads its called a caddx ratel starlight 2.1mm lens and its amazing for flying at night and its tinny and i mean tinny you should check them out
Dulwich Community Hospital History : The hospital has its origins in the St Saviour's Union Infirmary, the creation of which was the subject of strong objections from Charles Barry, who was concerned about the potential for a reduction in house prices, and Sir Henry Bessemer, who was concerned about interruptions to his view. Nevertheless, the infirmary went ahead and opened in 1887. It was built by the Guardians of the Poor of the parish of Southwark St Saviour to ease pressure from overcrowding at their existing workhouse infirmary in Newington. It had 723 beds at the time it opened. It was renamed the Southwark Union Infirmary in 1902 and it then served as the Southwark Military Hospital during the First World War. It was the first London infirmary to be evacuated to accommodate war casualties. In 1915 the infirmary was passed to the Royal Army Medical Corps. Existing staff stayed and were joined by nurses from the Voluntary Aid Detachment. British and Empire troops were treated, including American, Australian, South African, and Canadian soldiers. The number of beds was increased to 820 and tents were erected on the grounds as sleeping accommodation for soldiers who were up all day. They were fitted with beds and lockers and were described as being 'cozy and warm'. The same visitor observed the hospital wards as being 'long and bright, and we were struck by a large number of men in bed, but even these were smoking and reading or playing games.' During this period, 12,522 soldiers were treated and only 119 died. The hospital was returned to civilian service in April 1919. A grade II listed memorial cross stands outside the hospital. The name was changed to Southwark Hospital in 1921 and was renamed Dulwich Hospital in 1930 before joining the National Health Service in 1948. During the 1980s St Francis Hospital became the north wing of Dulwich Hospital and a tunnel under the railway line connected the two sites. From 1964 until 2004 the hospital was owned by the Kings College Hospital Trust. It was a district hospital and a center of excellence for renal treatment. In 2004 it was passed to the Southwark NHS Primary Care Trust. In 2005 most health services ceased, although the NHS continues to offer limited community services from the south wing. History of the site from 2016: In 2016 Southwark Council received consent from the Greater London Authority to build a health center and school on the site, and to demolish the remaining ward blocks, walkways, and nurse’s quarters. The construction of The Charter School East Dulwich was completed in 2018. The health center was completed in April 2020
Hi Matt I believe you picked up a disembodied voice around the 34:47 on this fantastic old building it's where your looking out of one of the windows talking about the camera by the fence it happens just as you pan to the left sounds eerie. Great video keep it up thanks mate
Did you ever do Tredegar hospital here in Wales. Was due to be demolosed last year. Its a huge building. Not sure if the plans to demolish went ahead due to covid restrictions. Would be great to see inside that one. Stay safe guys 😍🏴
At begin, when you said about these green railings, coming up, on Opp side of Rd, there's a car parked, kinda off compared to others, and looks like 2 ppl, with fluecent jackets sitting in it...lol might've been security as was start hospital grounds....lol just saying...maybe......or I'm seeing 💩 that ain't there lol
Definitely asbestos removal going on in the basement. The air movers are on to draw air in through the filter draw the particles out the air and into the filter fitted on the air mover

I did some temp work there in 1999. My grandmother lived in Dulwich all her life.

The hospital chapel glass door is epic!
Really looking forward to the next part ! Good work 👏 had me hooked all the way through
Now I'll call that explore, 'a great success'. I'm thinking the old hospital could make some descent dormitories. Than'x once again Matt.
The building itself is absolutely awesome, that was a great tour of the inside thank you brother.
Unreal what a mission awesome guys. That camera is one decent bit of kit
These old hospitals always seem to be rabbit warrens, so many walkways and passages. Cool explore.
you have some bottle matt to do this unreal lol
great explore matt,, ,stay safe out there
Getting old matt you came over that fence like a tortoise climbing over a tomato. That digger we hired one last year it was battery operated. Great explore the final part is going to be good.
Ok I wanna see some footage of you trying, lol.
Wish I could matt my stitches would not stand it..
Dulwich* not Dunwich. This was a active hospital up until a few months back and now shut down when the Tessa Jowell Hospital was opened. (I’m a local)
My bad... sounded better when it was something out of a Horror Novel. Lol
Dunwich chronicles 😆
@@whatliesbeneathurbanexplor1631 and frog men from the hidden deep
Any hospital will do but just like the old look In keeping with the buildings in the area but if they’re all new in the area build new but lets not argue about hospitals 🥴👍
and Q the mission impossible music as Matt's scales the fence
Whipps Cross Hospital in East London has these walkways and similar onion towers, too, in the oldest part of the hospital, formerly the West Ham Union Infirmary.
What a beautiful place , such a shame it will be destroyed. So much history and the powers that be don't value it. Thank you for recording it.
Its a listed building so wont be destroyed just the insides converted into appartments.
@@TheSecretVault Thank God, the past is being destroyed all around us all too often.
When does part two come out cause i cant wait to see it!
Next day or so
I literally go to the school that looks over it and I always wondered what was inside so this is extra cool for me. Most of it is literally flat ground now
Great explore thank you Matt. So pleased you have that camera, it really made all the difference. Those walkways tho !!??!!
Other great vault vid cheers
Matt i have a camera on my quads its called a caddx ratel starlight 2.1mm lens and its amazing for flying at night and its tinny and i mean tinny you should check them out
Crumbs this is late or early but worth a watch 👍
A lot of liniment and blood have soaked into the brickwork over the decades.
All that stuff in the middle are the walls that were torn out and tossed out. You can see where they were in those big rooms.
Greetings mate hope you're good
All the best from BA Kernow 👍
At last getting around to watching this
Matt’s in the capital
Can’t beat a spooky hospital 🏥 👻
Proper old school
Looking forward to seeing part II
Still awake? 😂
That place looks like the carry on doctor hospital
At last somewhere i'm familiar with.
Right on my home turf, thanks for the video. 👍
This hospital actually saved my life back in the l90's.
