14.25 ive been that left part of roof back in 95. oz porter, the other endd at the bottom is the morg and wait till you see the size of the emergency generators under neath main building.
It deffo collapsed last week im pretty close to that and was in my garden and heard 2 load collapse noises and right away i said to my missus that the 2 clatters if thats what you call it of buildings falling to the ground......the last time i heard that noise was those row of shops coming down in 1 go
My late father worked on the construction of this. Work was delayed for some time. The surgeons of the time requested that the operation theatres were on the top floor. The New "New" Royal, whose construction was delayed, was requested by surgeons who wanted a certain theatre layout. Was the old "New" Royal ever fully paid for? Is the ventilation shaft in the shape of an inverted surgeon's mallet still standing?
The old boiler chimney is still standing but I think will be demolished as well. The new hospital wasn't 'requested by surgeons' who I am afraid wield much less influence than they would have done in the 1970s - the old building was falling apart and the cost to repair and renovate it was not much less than the estimate to build a new hospital. Of course, the old Royal is still mostly standing and I'm sure will outlast even the newest version.
I was a surgical rep, stood in theatres for hours they used to say about the theatres positioned on the top floor that the patients are " Nearer to God".
There’s footage going around showing the collapse of the tower, not planned at all.
Just seen that.
