We return in 2026 to one of the most active and eventful places we have ever been too...The scaffold hill hospital was opened in 1914 as an isolation hospital for infectious diseases such as TB, measles and scarlet fever. It was built right beside the colliery here.
The hospital had 2 wards, each with a viewing window so relatives could look at their loved ones without coming into physical contact. Up to 72 people could be here at any given time.
Over the years, it was used for wounded WWII soldiers, and in its final years, a hospital for the elderly before closing its doors for good in 1986.
The buildings now have modern usages, but staff have reported many strange sightings in and around the wards. The mortuary is now a storage room, but people have reported feeling ice cold touches here.
A caretaker who lived on site is regularly seen and recognised by staff working here.
We also have access to a former quarry site, located a short walk away.
