Merlin Park Hospital

It's so run down, man. It's like Ballychernobyl, looking at the buildings.

Nice to walk through it though, big green spaces. They sure took up as much space as they possibly could to build a hospital.

(We saw the world's fattest king charles spaniel. It waddled from the front much like mary harney. Looked a lot happier than her, though.)

They recently have done that building up !. It looks brand new now.

Used to go jogging through the grounds.
Back in the day when Dougiska (sp?) was a but a country lane. Around 2002-2003

Nice place for a walk if you can manage to ignore the depressing buildings.
lol,I used to think of Chernobyl too when I saw that boiler house

Worth strolling over to Merlin Park Castle, it's gated so not much you can do but worth a look anyway.

The boiler house is purposly not touched up with paint for a few reasons:

1) Maintenance staff are sick of people calling up to the yard asking if the Boiler House is the main hospital block :eek:

2) There's a lot of steel in the structure (which can be seen if you look close up irl) so would just penetrate the paint pretty quickly

IMHO it would be a total waste of money to tidy that thing up - who needs a freshly painted boiler house? I'd be raging if they spent a fcukload tidying it up when the HSE needs money pumped into it so badly in other areas

On a happier note, they've got funky modern XRay machines (I need to stop breaking bones

)

My husbands grandfather was the New Zeland architect Norman White who designed Merlin Park hospital.
I have to agree parts of it are looking pretty shoddy now though:)

You should go inside. Parts of the out patients area are like time traveling back to the 1950s.

aaaaah

it was originally a tb hospital for isolation etc. hence the massive grounds
