Thanks Mark. I walked past it not long ago and it's a really nice building on the outside. It's a real shame to see it in it's current state though. A real shame.

Great photos - thanks for those Mark! :okay:

It was by this ole hospital where I almost picked up a prostitute a few years ago on my way back from the nearby Renault garage. :shifty: My mom did her training here (at the Royal hospital, not the Renault garage or as a prostitute :|) and I've shown her photos of the inside before on Flickr and she was shocked at how much stuff it still there despite having been shut since 1996! :eek:

VH I personally don't know what's happening with the site. :dunno:

Regarding the prostitute, I had just picked up my car from its MOT at the Renault garage and stopped part way up the road to re-adjust the seat or something, and I noticed this rather poor quality woman walking over to the car kinda pointing at me. Being the naiive person that I am, my first thought was "Oh, poor woman - she needs help" and she came over to passenger window and it was when she smiled at me and asked "Can I get in?" that I suddenly realised I was stopped in what is perhaps Wolverhampton's most notorious red light area! :eek: I said "Erm, no" and quickly drove off! :lol:

My driving instructor took me down All Saints to practice a few maneuvers. I told him me stopping at curbs, reversing around corners etc was not a good idea. :p
