I don't own this space under my name. I should have leased it while I still could

An intriguing hospital was Bighi in Malta. Although we had left a number of years before, the hospital at Bighi was still empty and derelict in 1998.

On an Island with a severe land shortage it was notable how many ex-military sites were abandoned. The barracks and quarters at Tigne beach were only then being used as emergency accommodation for migrants. The hospital OTOH was still deserted. Windows wide open, the huge doors agape.

It was as if we had just left the day before.
