The main hospital itself is not used, but unfortunately for me is secured tight and has a resident caretaker, so I can't provide any internal photos!!
Thanks, snappel. As I recall, my father did work at Newsham General, so I appreciate you clarifying the difference between the facilities and that Newsham Hospital (aka Newsham General) was demolished in the 1980s.
