Birkwood and Hartwood Hospital

Although this blog is new, the idea for it has been kicking around my head for a while now. As a result I’ve been trying to think of different things to photograph and take me out of my comfort zone a little.

An invitation to go along to Birkwood Hospital and Hartwood Hospital for the day provided plenty of opportunities to play around with my camera/flashes/etc, while opening my eyes to what happened to thousands of people before the Care in the Community Act was introduced in 1990.
