FULL of empty patient beds and stained bathtubs, this abandoned hospital lies forgotten. St. Gerard's Hospital in Birmingham, which was once used to save lives and treat the deadly disease tuberculosis, has now been left to rot - along with everything inside. These eerie photographs were captured by an urban explorer known as Urbex-SW, who took up photography after becoming intrigued by the abandoned contents of the derelict houses close to his childhood home. 'These photographs show the hospital as it was when it was abandoned back in 1988,' says Urban-SW.
