Eerie images taken inside an abandoned hospital show empty surgery tables and expensive medical equipment laying unused.
Barnwell County Hospital in Barnwell, South Carolina, was regarded as a state-of-the-art institution when it opened in 1954, including modern features such as air-conditioning, piped-in oxygen, and an audio-visual nurse-to-patient call system.
The hospital, which had 43 beds and was originally built alongside a 10-bed nursing home for a cost of $815,000 (£650,000), served the local area before it began to experience financial difficulties in the early 21st century.
