New eerie shots from a freelancer photographer showcase an abandoned hospital in Northern Ireland – including a derelict children’s surgical theatre and its equipment.
Unbelievably, the pictures from the 120-year-old building show some lights are still operating.
The photographer, 24-year-old Jordan L, from London, explored the abandoned Tyrone County Hospital in Market Street, Omagh, Northern Ireland for three hours.
The hospital was left abandoned in 2017 after a larger and more modern hospital was opened instead. As a result, it took over the services and this original place was left to deteriorate.
Jordan found it creepy seeing the children’s areas, as it made her think of all the kids who would have suffered and even died there.
She was, however, surprised at how well-preserved the hospital was, with little to no graffiti and the medical and surgical equipment being left behind in near-perfect condition.
Jordan also loved exploring the intact operating theatres and operational equipment that had been left to rot throughout the hospital.
‘It was a very different experience as it’s unusual to find abandoned hospitals that aren’t badly covered in graffiti and that have so much stuff left,’ she said.
‘The children’s ward and operating theatres were a little creepy knowing that kids were operated on in there.
‘I really loved finding the intact operating theatres with the huge surgical lights left behind.’

The hospital has its origins in an infirmary, which was opened in Market Street in Omagh in 1796, then moved to Hospital Road in 1899.
‘A post-graduate centre for students of Queen’s University Belfast was opened by Richard Needham in July 1988 and a new renal unit followed in August 1989,’ Jordan added.
‘After services transferred to the new Omagh Hospital and Primary Care Complex the Tyrone County Hospital closed on June 20, 2017.’
Take a look at how the property appears today…
