🏥 North Staffordshire Royal Infirmary, Stoke-On-Trent. Without a doubt, my favourite abandoned hospital! So many old operating theatres date from between the 1920s and 1970s; many still had power when I explored a few years ago. Sadly, all these areas are now demolished.
More photos of all 6 operating theatres, and all the other areas I explored - https://www.obsidianurbexphotography.com/medical/hospital-morgue-s/

📷 Photography Portfolio Feature - "Industrial Decay"
The onward march of technology and innovation never halts. These abandoned places were once the pinnacle of technological perfection. As decades pass they are superseded and forced into closure. Once-bustling hives of activity fall silent and cold.

#OnThisDay, 10 Jan 1917, the silent sentinels start their picketing of the US White House, demanding votes for women.
They protested six days a week until 1919, when the nineteenth amendment of the US constitution gave women the right to vote.
In practice, state restrictions on voters continued to limit some people’s right to vote.

When we were in Krakow, just before Christmas, we went to visit the famous salt mine at Wieliczka. The mine was in operation from the C13th till 1996, and is now a UNESCO World Heritage Site. 287 km of passages and chambers have been cut through the solid, greyish salt, which you can see on the floor of this corridor. Everything that isn't made of salt seems to be made of wood. You can only visit as part of a guided tour, but it's a great day out.
