The first storey of Browning/Blake was one of the most popular locations within the former hospital. It had
never been properly cleared and the beds, bed screens, furniture and furnishings gave a unique insight into the layout and
look of the hospital just before it was closed. However, appearances could be deceptive and there were mutterings
that the ward was more the product of imaginative photographers composing scenes rather than a true representation of the
hospital as it was. Beds, bedding and furnishings were apparently dragged into to enhance the post-closure scene.
This scene was a magnet for the photographers and artists; a point not lost on security who also knew it as a potential
explorer hot-spot. It was here that Marlon and his friends were caught (but due to mistaken identity rather
than any stealth on security’s part).
