asylum

Short wee visit to the hospital.

Explored a couple of years ago so pics aren't recent. Hospital Name: St. George’s Hospital Previous Names: Northumberland County Asylum, Morpeth Asylum, Northumberland County Mental Hospital Location: Morpeth, Northumberland Status: Disused, Mostly demolished Opened: 16th March 1859 Closed...

I finally had the opportunity to check out the remains of the famous Hellingly asylum popularized through Joe Weller's exploration series. We pulled up into the car park outside the Church that used to be apart of the complex. We got out and then looked for an entrance to no success except for...

When I first mentioned to my friends who are involved in the urban exploring community and have been for a while, most recommendations where “go to Talgarth asylum and have a look - you’ll soon know if this is for you”. Well, that’s exactly what I did... not for long, due to being stopped by the...

Hey, this is our first explore.. go easy on us! Any feedback appreciated! So we decided to check out Selly Oak’s infamous abandoned hospital, (Me and @Narg1992). A lot of this site has been knocked down over time and has now become a thriving housing estate.. which obviously causes some...

Explored With @TheFerret and @Urbex_fox History: Opened in 1902, and known originally as Canterbury Borough Lunatic Asylum, the hospital was first built to accommodate 250 patients, a much smaller amount than other Asylums nearby. During the first world war, West Sussex County Asylum saw a...

In the midst of this lock-down madness, we are all unable to get out and get exploring like we used to; so a lot of us are revisiting memories past. Having recently registered again, I am in the process of uploading some of my adventures again, and today I bring you Hellingly East Sussex County...

First of all I apologise that these aren’t in any particular order and poor quality (iPhone). I couldn’t find any posts on here with pictures from inside, so thought I’d post mine from several visits. There isn’t a lot documented about Ridge Lea, but it was a mental health unit/asylum close to...

Disclaimer: I don’t do reports very often and all photos are taken on an iPhone. It’s just really to show people who might have never been or are wondering the current state. History: it’s been done to the death on here so I won’t go in to detail it’s also well documented all over the internet...

New member first post. :D Visited Mid Wales Hospital in Talgarth this summer, lots of working CCTV and people driving past constantly but got a few pictures. Wasn't planned so sadly they're just taken on my phone but was still good fun looking around! Easily accessible but cameras point at near...

Hello everyone, My desire is to dedicate this forum to help all those who live in the Northern Ireland Area to find places to explore. Please feel free to comment any known locations! Let's get a bit of repour going. Thank you

The asylum is now part demolished and renovated. There is a photo included of the renovated building, apologies for the bad quality and lighting. The same fate is to happen to the chapel so I'm glad I got to see it pre renovation and get a sense of the history. History: "The foundation stone...

The hospital moved from Piccadilly to Cheadle in 1849 when the Piccadilly area became too built up, noisy and unsuitable for the mentally ill and changed its name to the Manchester Royal Lunatic Asylum. By the 1930s, the Hospital was able to pioneer treatments such as occupational therapy, the...

This is my 1st post but not my 1st explore. I visited Denbeigh asylum today! 10-05-19 It was a wet wet day to say the least. Gaining access was very easy as there is new metal gating and security boxes on site. I did not see on other person there. The buildings are beautiful it’s just a...

Hiya, this is my first post, so it may not be the best but thought I'd write up about my Denbigh visit! Visited with @Chloe Explores HISTORY North Wales Hospital is a Grade II* listed building in Denbighshire, Wales. It was built between 1844 and 1848 and housed 1500 patients, before closing...

Great Barr Colony (St Margaret’s Lunatic Asylum) We walked the estate that has a whole bunch of new build houses on it. It took us some time to find as we entered the estate and got lost, eventually being directed the right way. Not much still stands of the Lunatic Asylum (once known as the...

Apologies for yet another report on Whitchurch. This was my first time here and an amazing explore. This place is huge, the pictures do not do it justice or explain the scale of this place. Lots of reports recently from other people and older ones. I recommend looking at those also as it’s hard...

Visited with @raisinwing , @tumbles and @Lenston Shock Horror, Humpa's posting a report!!!! have visited this place several times over a couple of years each with varying success. We had been fairly limited in what we saw due to the place being locked up so tight, so a revisit was always...

Hi everyone I know this has nothing to do with exploring a site however I think a lot of us can agree that the plan for denbigh asylum is an outrageous and stupid one. This is why I have started a petition to somewhat halt or change the mind of those re developing Denbigh. It would mean a great...

Creedmoor is a psychiatric facility in Queens NY, USA that provides inpatient, outpatient and residential services for severely mentally ill patients. In 1912, the Farm Colony of Brooklyn State Hospital was opened, with 32 patients, at Creedmoor by the Lunacy Commission of New York State...
