SP0483 : Queen Elizabeth Hospital

near to Selly Oak, Birmingham, Great Britain

Queen Elizabeth Hospital
Queen Elizabeth Hospital
This major teaching hospital was opened in the late 1930s and has long been regarded as a centre of excellence. Its replacement is well advanced. The tall clock tower is a local landmark and contains water tanks and access to a new-(ish) vertical access shaft containing a large part of the hospital's plumbing.
In the mid 1980s the contractors left the access to this tower open and I've sat on top of it on a couple of occasions.
