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...

After longing to visit this place for the last two years we finally decided to bite the bullet and make the 3 1/2 hour drive down. The Asylum first opened in 1833 under the name Connaught Asylum to accommodate 150 'curable lunatics'. The main building was designed by William Murray following...

Visiting relatives over in Eire we decided to head out west for the day and check out a few things including the Ennis asylum. This is a well known site and has been done on here several times. Ferox https://www.28dayslater.co.uk/threads/our-ladys-hospital-ennis-ireland-august-2017.110821/...

If there was ever a competition for places with the most name changes, this place would be a top contender. The hospital opened as the Surrey County Pauper Lunatic Asylum in 1840. The original building was a grand symmetrical red brick Tudor-style composition enclosing a large courtyard, built...

Pure tourism, and our third and final stop on a two day trip to the west coast of Ireland last year, with the explores just as something to do on the journeys there and back. Now I don’t know much about asylums and can’t witter on about asylum X being better than Y since the only other one...

A LITTLE HISTORY (History stolen from Wiki) The North Wales Hospital (locally known as Denbigh Mental or Denbigh Asylum) is a Grade II listed building. Designed by architect Thomas Fulljames, building started in 1844 and completed in 1848. Once a hospital for up to 200 people with psychiatric...

Hey guys. Just wanted to inform anyone who wants to visit Stallington Hospital that I went there this evening, parked close by and walked around the perimeter of the grounds. I couldn't see any access so obviously didn't gain access to the grounds or hospital. So we gave up and got in the car...

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...

As I was flicking through old files recently i noticed that I'd only processed about half of the pics from here. So I decided it was about bloody time I did - this is the condensed version.  If you are interested in reading more about the institution I would recommend reading the info on the...

Found this place by comparing a vague YouTube video and some info I've found here and there, then confirmed with Google maps satellite. Place was pretty big, but unfortunately pretty destroyed by vandals over time. Here are some pictures I took on my scouting trip there. Will go back for...

An impromptu visit with @SpiderMonkey while on the way back from Scotland turned out to be quite worthwhile. There was still some activity taking place inside the hospital, and we almost came face to face with staff on a few occasions, but managed to avoid them and the security team who are...

1. The History The hospital was designed by GT Hine and construction started in 1897 and was concluded five years when the institution opened in 1902. Kesteven County Council oversaw the hospital and it was renamed the Kesteven Mental Hospital in 1924 and then again in 1933 as the Rauceby Mental...

History - York Lunatic Asylum was first proposed in 1772, via advertisements in the York Courant for those interested in a project to erect an asylum in York, and meetings for this purpose followed, and the building began construction the same year. The hospital opened in 1777 with...

Here's a little selection of some of the more random, less-obvious shots from 10 years of exploring asylums. One shot each from most of the ones I've visited. Thought I'd try and avoid the obvious shots a little. Aston Hall (Nottinghamshire Mental Defective Colony, opened in 1930) Ward...
