mental hospital

Central Mental Hospital The Central Mental Hospital in Dundrum, Dublin, originally known as the Central Criminal Lunatic Asylum for Ireland, opened in 1850 and was one of the earliest purpose-built secure psychiatric hospitals in Europe, predating England’s Broadmoor Hospital by more than a...

i have gotten back into St James hospital a year later... more @ St James Asylum (2025 edition) - very open at the moment and since it was Easter bank holiday it made it even quieter, i got in on friday and it was sound. no one at all, we were in the tunnels under the hospital and heard someone...

As promised in my welcome post, I will be sharing my exploration of St James Asylum, a former mental hospital located in Milton, Portsmouth, UK. It is being converted into Luxury apartments, and Pjlivestry is the group behind the conversion. They are making quick work of it I must say, whenever...

This place needs no introduction. It was perhaps the quintessential asylum. Not only was it of mammoth scale, but its architecture seemed perfectly aligned with what stereotypically springs to mind. It was one of many across the country of what I loosely dub the ‘second wave’ of county asylums -...

Yesterday we visited Rauceby Asylum in Sleaford, Lincolnshire. I'd never been before and on our tour of urbex sites around Lincolnshire, this place was at the top of the "to do" list. Rauceby Hospital, also known as Kesteven County Asylum, is a long since closed mental institution in Sleaford...

The History This place doesn't need a whole lot of introduction, but it was perhaps the last ever purpose-built county asylum whilst never officially named so, given that such phrasing was dated by this time. The foundation stone was lain in 1934 and began taking patients in 1936 as Runwell...

Back in 2018 I posted this thread: https://www.oblivionstate.com/community/threads/10-years-of-asylum-seeking.12405/ I kind of thought the jig was mostly up as far as asylums were concerned by then, and each time there was another, I'd have this kind of melancholic feeling that it was going to...

At this point I’m sure you’ve all read about Talgarth hospital / asylum so I won’t ramble on about it’s history I just wanted to tell my story and experience visiting. opening in 1903 and closing in 1999 the building has since stood dormant with empty walls and falls slowing crumbling over time...

This annex of the nearby Lancaster Moor Hospital was opened in 1916 as a Ladies Villa, intended for lucrative private lady patients who required superior accommodation compared with that available in the main Lancaster Moor Hospital. Lancaster Moor hospital opened in 1816 and closed for mental...

First opening its doors in 1828, the James Murray Lunatic Asylum is an astounding building. Over the decades, the asylum was expanded as it succeeded as an establishment. In 1948 it became part of the NHS, however by the 80s, such a large building was no longer needed and it slowly went into...

VISIT MARCH 2020 Ik loads of people have probably posted about this, but it’s only of my favourite places I’ve explored. I’ve been there twice, you got to be careful when u go as floors are very uneasy . There is a guy in a van who goes around the property, I have never got in trouble with him...

PRE WAR - CONVALESENT HOUSE HOSPITAL, NESS ROAD SHOEBURYNESS The Old Mental Hospital "EXPLORED" ! This building had several different medical purposes over the years.. The former hospital ,originally built as a pre-war convalescent home, was last used for non-residential specialist...

we went to bangour hospital at night. Did avoid security and get in and out safe. Used a cannon bridge camera for the pictures but had to keep the flash low to avoid being caught. This is our first post and we have a YouTube- urban hounds96 Thanks for looking :)

Reposting after the great loss of photobucket images last year! During the last year or so, we have been slowly working through TheTimeChamber and updating the galleries to include larger sized and more photos; in doing so we have ended up reediting a lot of old photographs and revisiting long...

An asylum in all but name and certainly one of the last we will get to explore that still resembles the heyday of noughties asylum exploring. Theres not much i can add to Mockney's excellent report from here. He made a much better job of this that i did the first time i did Whitchurch for sure...
