Blackburn Royal Infirmary

William Pilkington became Blackburn's fifth mayor in November, 1856, an honour he acknowledged by announcing his intention to create an infirmary, a project he inaugurated with a £2,000 donation towards the building fund together with an endowment of £100 a year. The foundation stone of the Blackburn Infirmary was laid in May 1858 and the building completed six years later.

going, going.... nice record of the steady deterioration of this place. I'll never forget AndyJ23uk's report from here, security shenanigans.
