Creepy hospital mortuary, abandoned 20 years ago. Somewhere in Wales 🏴☠️
This small building sits away from the main hospital, which remains active today. The mortuary dates back to the early days of the hospital, when it was established in the early 1900s as a sanatorium. Due to the nature of infectious diseases treated at the time, the mortuary was positioned away from patient wards.
This building includes facilities for the preparation of the deceased. There are cadaver fridges with storage trays for up to six bodies. In the adjacent room is the mortuary slab; the walls are tiled, and a large skylight (now partially boarded) would have provided ample light for the mortician's work. There is also a small attached chapel.
The mortuary and chapel fell into disuse around 20-25 years ago. Despite the decades, the smell of embalming chemicals is still strong in the air.
