That’s the important industrial area of the hospital covered. So, it’s back to the important business
of wards. And the wards on this northeasterly side of the building seem even more impressive
than the ones on the south westerly.
They’re spaced further apart and are sited above the footpath. You get a great sense of them looming over
you as you walk down the road.
Well, you would if you could walk on the road.
And I’m a little confused as to why they put the stop sign on the gate. Isn’t that obvious? Well, this is
Cane Hill after all.
Interestingly the added splendor of the wards on this side of the hospital is over-exagerated by their
height over the footpath. They are mirror images of the wards on the other side of the hospital.
This is the side of the Wren/Wesley ward with
No. 5 Garden nicely fenced in to the right. The fence has also
prevented any shots of Zachary/York ward.
2009: The fence was extremely well built. There were only limited places where it
could be traversed and for many years the route over the new boiler house was the most favoured.
Despite appearances in the photograph, there were no gaps between the gate’s base and the road. One of the only
places to wiggle under the jagged metal was near Female Ward ‘A’ (Browning/Blake) and that was our entry route
for the "Syringes On Sunday" exploration. However, it was really only a fair-weather route.
