This wasn't the explore we was expecting aimed for a nightclub ended up in offices

SEQOL formally requested to end their contract ahead of schedule, due to their “challenging financial position and workforce challenges”.
This was announced after the local hospital decided it would take over the running of adult community health services from SEQOL. This came after SEQOL was given 12 months’ notice on their contract earlier this year and a tendering process was launched to identify a suitable alternative provider.

The Derelict House

I've re-titled this one as fb didn't like it.....

Living in the local area I knew of 2 instances of where cars had misjudged the roundabout leading up to it and ended up through the house, having looked at the history it's had more cars go through it than a mcdonalds drive through.
Although completely empty once inside it was like a step back in time with the decor just with a car shape boarded up frontage 🤣

Robertson House - Treloar Hospital

This abandoned hospital was originally built in 1901 using public donations to treat the sick and wounded soldiers from the Boer War. It was named the Princess Louise Hospital. By the time the hospital was ready to officially be used for service in 1903, the Boer War had ended. From 1903 to 1905 the hospital was used by the Royal Army Medical Corps.
In 1907 Sir William Purdie Treloar, the Lord Mayor of London, bought the site for children suffering from tuberculous of the bones and joints. It was in a run down state when first purchased. Treloar set up a fund to finance the development of the hospital. His aim was to build a hospital and school in the country for children with non-pulmonary tuberculosis to rest and gain an education or trade.
Children from all over the country travelled to Treloar for treatment, the hospital even had its own railway station. The children were also encouraged to work on the farms and surrounding grounds.
Between 1974-1987 3,891 people in the UK were infected with Hepatitis B, C and HIV by the medicine Factor VIII imported from the US. Most of those infected were haemophiliacs as Factor VIII was used to help blood clot. During this time, the boys’ school offered specialist care for haemophiliacs. Since the public inquiry into the NHS’ use of contaminated blood products in 2019, former Treloar pupils have given statements in evidence. Financial compensation has since been given to the families of those affected. Estimates suggest that those given infected blood could be as high as 30,000 people.
The site was a functioning hospital until it closed its doors in 1994. This was in-part due to a new Community Hospital being opened in the area.
A new housing estate mainly occupies the site and just Robertson House is left overlooking the new houses.

Top Rank / Mecca Bingo Hall Gloucester

This bingo hall was originally the independently operated Plaza Super Cinema which opened in November 1935. In January 1956, it was taken over by Circuits Management Association, which soon became the Rank Organisation. The cinema was modernised and renamed Odeon in January 1957.

The Odeon closed at the end of August 1975 and was later converted to a Top Rank Bingo Club, At some point in the 1990s, the building was then sold to Mecca Bingo, who used it until July 2022 when it closed and has lain dormant ever since.

The Abandoned Milk Factory

The original milking parlour was built here in 1872, and the creamery that it developed into was once the largest employer in the town; it grew dramatically throughout the early twentieth century, the site soon developing to incorporate a range of art deco buildings, spread across a large plot of land beside the river.

A railway line had stopped nearby in those early days, which allowed milk bottled here to reach wholesalers in London the very same day – one of the main factors which fuelled the site’s success.
The subsequent closure of the railway line caused the factory to suffer heavily though, and many jobs were lost as the operation was gradually downsized.
At the peak of the redundancies, there were also two suicides at the site – in one dramatic instance a former worker hanged himself from the walkway that connects the two main buildings, high above the access road.

A fire in 1993 rendered the drying tower unusable, but the damage had already been done by this point – it was Margaret Thatcher who hammered the final nail into the coffin, with the decentralisation of milk collection. The creamery struggled through its final decade, finally closing its doors for good in 2006 – along with the loss of over 100 jobs, and a severe knock to the local economy.

Nowadays the site is considered by most locals to be something of an eyesore and is currently in the process of being demolished.
