The group could’ve continued onto the next group of Female Wards (which formed the 1888 extension) but instead
elected to clamber over the mountain of clothes, suitcases and furniture blocking the corridor to the north-east.
This corridor led back to the hospital’s core. Buildings erected alongside it were originally intended as the Servant’s
Bedroom but were now the hospital’s art rooms.
The patient’s art was still mostly stored in large drawers but some had spilled onto the floor after being looked through.
Some of it was impressive, some competent, some childish and some downright disturbing.
It was rumoured that some hospital visitors drew their own gruesome pictures and secreted it in the piles of patient’s work.
