What lies beyond the bricked-up doorway will no doubt remain a mystery, but you never know! Once again, another piece of fascinating Portland history that lies in ruins and uncared for. Sinks, air conditioning unit and a few bits of furniture. We didn’t let it get to us and managed to get photos of the few items which had been left behind. However, our luck was short-lived and we could only explore so far in to the tunnel as we were met by a bricked up doorway. The bars on the gate had been bent and there was enough room for us to squeeze through. We finally had a bit of luck getting in to the second tunnel. An original photo taken by my Father on the mid-90’s tour of the hospitalĭuring our explore of the hospital, we found a broken hatch which dropped us down inside a service/escape tunnel near the third entrance tunnel, unfortunately there was a collapsed roof section which stopped us going any further.
As I understand, there were three tunnel entrances to the underground hospital although whether these tunnels joined to create one large underground complex is unclear. Without researching at local libraries I was at a loss searching online. After the tours were completed, steel gates were put on the tunnel entrances and access limited.įast-forward almost twenty years and history on the Underground Hospital is extremely rare. I remember being amazed by the underground structure, and perhaps, this was the experience that would trigger my passion for exploring these forgotten places. It was the mid-nineties when the Portland Underground Hospital was uncovered and open to the public for a weekend of tours.
First brought to our attention when we were only young, barely teenagers I believe. Back in 2008 my fellow explorers and I set out to report on the Portland Underground Hospital.
