Park View, the hostel in Abbey Road, Malvern, shut its doors 25 years ago.
The closure came almost 50 years to the day since the building, originally the Hydro and the town's first water cure establishment, became the luxurious County Hotel.
It later became a hospital after the radar establishment came to town, providing accommodation for staff and being operated by the YMCA.
Since it closed as a hostel the building has, of course, been given yet another new lease of life as a luxury apartment building.
