The Old Mortuary is located on the grounds of the historic Cheadle Royal Hospital (originally known as the Manchester Royal Lunatic Asylum) in Heald Green, Greater Manchester. Not much information on the Old Mortuary I think it’s been derelict a good 20 years. Saw this posted a few times so...

We couldn't find any specific info on the mortuary itself but it sits in the grounds of the Priory hospital on the site of what was Cheadle Royal Hospital so we are assuming it served the original hospital. Cheadle Royal Hospital, originally known as the Manchester Lunatic Hospital, dates back...

After what felt like a pretty dismal dry spell I finally found something good. After seeing I was up in Manchester for a work trip, I decided to see what I had pinned on my map. ‘Possible mortuary?’ is what I had, although it wouldn't be the first time such a label has been given and usually...

There isn't a whole lot to this place, and as far as industrial stuff goes it's pretty meh however it's not been posted on here before so at least this might save you the hassle of going. This was a random maps spot however which I do like to check out as you simply don't know if something might...

Having spent a week with the family in a lodge over the Christmas period, eaten my own body weight in mince pies and brandy butter I needed to get out for some peace/quiet/exercise. The area local to where I was staying didn't have much in the way of explores that I hadn't already done so this...

History I’ve just copy and pasted from their website. The history of Deanprint Ltd can be traced back to a young entrepreneur named Joseph Dean. Joseph was a Yorkshireman who despite being born into impoverished circumstances, used his intellect and determination to set up a travel agency...

As someone new to urban exploring, this is by far one of my favourite places! Found in Cheadle, Manchester, is Cheadle's abandoned Royal Hospital, formerly known as the Manchester Royal Lunatic Asylum. It opened it 1766 by Richard Lane, however relocated to Cheadle in 1849. Voluntary patients...

A polite notice to everyone regarding Cheadle royal hospital please do not go to explore there as it is a working mental health hospital and not abandoned, there have been multiple attempts recently to gain access to this place with people breaking into parts of the site anyone caught here will...

Draycott Cross Colliery was a privately owned drift mine which operated from 1983 through to early 1991. The adits were mined in the southern portal of the former Draycott Cross Railway Tunnel. The tunnel and line were constructed from 1888 through to 1894 and were originally part of the railway...

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...

Welcome to my first post. Hope you enjoy. I went to this abandoned Lunatic Asylum last weekend. Great explore. There was only one abandoned building remaining and it was creepy. I did a video which can be found here ACCESS WAS THROUGH AN ACTIVE HOSPITAL SO BE CAREFUL IF YOU GO. History from...

Cheadle Royal Hospital, formerly known as the Manchester Royal Lunatic Asylum, was a psychiatric hospital built in 1848 – 1849. As of 2010, the majority of the original site became part of the Priory Group, which offers comprehensive inpatient mental health services. One building, known locally...

So recently me and a friend stayed over night at the abandoned Lunatic Asylum in Heald Green. it was fun and all but while we were there we coudlnt stop wondering what the place was like when it was open, it opened in 1849 (i believe) so there wont be many picture from its earlier days but it...

I first went here in 2005 – but never entered the main building for safety reasons as I was alone. Finally I went in with Darkscore and Light_arted this Sunday and spent 4 hours exploring. It’s a big building with lots of rooms (Most of which have rotted floors), it’s a shell and quite shabby...
