This Abandoned Psychatric ward of an abandoned hospital in the South Island has been decommisioned for around two years. It was interesting seeing a lot of the patient recocords and councilling data still left around waiting for disposal.
Unlike this ward. some parts of of the hospital are still active as the entire hospital awaits decommision and presumably demolition.
The Dunedin Cadbury factory closed in 2018 after 88 years of operation, it was a very controversial shut down with the factory recently being sold to mondalez. This sale was often linked to the factory’s demise, it was a very sad end to the cadbury saga in New Zealand.
I had dreamt of this explore for years before actually doing it, imagining going back through the ‘cadbury world’ exhibition I went through as a youngster and to see the infamous chocolate fountain in its full abandoned glory. This was however, not quite how I imagined as demolition was quite far through by the time we managed access. Enjoy the pics!
Built around 1901 this old infirmary became a rest home and then a backpackers before being left to ruin, most probably demolition by neglect. We explored this place earlier this year, it was a huge sprawling complex with plenty to see and photograph, there was heaps of natural decay as the building didn’t seem to have been maintained at all for a long time.
We hope you enjoy the pictures,
