Yet another NHS facility under the cosh. They always look abandoned and uncared for. This however is showing signs of real wear. It can only be a matter of time before someone gets in and destroys it.
This building was on the site of a building that housed an annex of Blackpool and the Fylde College. I used to go there to do production skills, woodwork, crafting and similar practical crafts. I don;t remeber when those buildings were flattened but it was replaced by this fine health centre. As a family we were registered to a practice on Waterloo Road and when we got the option to move to this building it seemed like a good idea. Later our doctors open a surgery nearer to us and we moved with them. Our doctors are now some of the most senior practicing doctors on the Fylde coast. They have worn considerably better than this building.
The latest bit of scandal concerning the building is shoppers and workers using the carpark as erm... a carpark! seems it not allowed... Nothing like driving the prosperity of the area down.
Shocking weather when I took these pix. Rain on the front filter
Update when something happens! Might be years.......

| The side/back |

| The back - already rubbish |
 |
| The back also |
 |
| Plenty of carparking space |
 |
| The side looking towards Lytham Road |
 |
| The same side |
 |
| From the front of the building. Lytham road runs fro left to right. Right heads to Manchester Square and the Prom. Left leads to Squires gate lane at the Airport. |
 |
| The front Entrance |
 |
| From the Front Entrance looking towards Lytham Road |
 |
| The front again. The bluish building on the right was the old Lytham Road swimming baths |
 |
| The same view. Where the newer flats were was the site of a Fire Station |
 |
| Looking from Lytham Road. It is a one storey building. |

| Somehow looks forbidding |
