Redundant building at the Cumberland Infirmary
This block was built in the 1970s as an extension to the old Cumberland Infirmary http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/2646570 . When the new infirmary http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/74610 opened in 2000, nearly all functions were shifted across from here. Apart from a few services on the ground floor, the building appears to have been unused ever since.
Information update : the building was demolished in 2018-2019.
