Walsall Manor Hospital - mortuary
The van is parked in the mortuary entrance where bodies are received. The wooden fencing surrounds two modular external body stores that were installed to address capacity issues. The part of the building to the left houses the histopathology department but that is due to move to a new large facility at New Cross Hospital, Wolverhampton. I worked in that department from 1994 to 2005 and a merger with New Cross was discussed more than once but it has taken until 2020 to become a reality.

Welcome to Shelley Campus, Pleck
A satellite campus of Walsall College. I did a BTEC in popular music here in 2000-1; back then, it was the home of the performing arts and leather departments, though I don't know whether that is still the case.
