My topsy-turvy life

By Rathmandu

For Stafford & St George's

I'm aware that panoramic shots don't look great on blip but I've wanted to get a shot of the old St George's hospital for a while and this was the only way I could get it all in.

The building was/is the old disused St George's hospital in Stafford and it was gutted by a massive fire in March 2010. The fire started in the early hours of a Saturday morning and I remember almost colliding with a lampost trying to see what was going on as I was out for a run that morning. I'm not sure I've ever seen so many fire engines in one place.
It was certainly very impressive.

Needless to say the building's just a shell now and I have no idea what the plans for it are, although they're building new houses on the land around it.
