Old York Hospital
Built in 1894-95 the hospital designed by architect George Temple-Poole was built to accommodate the ever growing number of ill prospectors from the Goldfields.
It ceased to operate as a hospital in 1963.
In 1976 the National Trust acquired the buildings - in the next 20 years it was used by the YHA.
The complex was sold in 1998 to a private concern.
The hospital still has a fine shingle roof. (. . . and some say a ghost ?)
- what's going to be its future . . ?
