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...

St Crispin's Hosp First report here so go easy but with a bit of guidance from @Bikin Glynn hopefully this looks ok. Not my first visit here but first one for many years so it was good to see there was still a fair bit left. To my surprise the tower actually is more accessible now than...

This place has been on the radar for a while but the last time I came here there didn't seem to be an entrance. Opened in the mid 1800s & closed I believe in the late 1900s. Unsettling to see how desolate & quiet it is in contrast to how it would have been while it was functional. To those who...

This place has been abandoned for 10 years now leaving it to decay…. we took our trip here a few weeks ago and spent almost 4hrs there was so big!. Cefen coed hospital was also managed by the Swansea bay health board. The corridor had this wheelchair at the bottom as if it was just put...

This was the old reception Saw this lovely old piano Corridors vintage x ray equipment. This was really cool to see!

History Long before it became a place of treatment, this site was a place of punishment by poverty. Opened in the mid-19th century as the Brighton Workhouse, the building was designed not for care, but for control. The Victorian workhouse system was deliberately harsh – families separated...

Hello folk, this is my first post although not my first explore! Properly started urbex towards the middle and end of last year, covering mainly wartime tunnels along the coast. Background Info on the Site The only part missing from the building compared to this historic photo is the...

Pretty interesting history to this place, West Park Hospital in Epsom, Surrey was a large psychiatric hospital built by the London County Council between 1913 and 1924, and officially opened on June 20, 1924. It was the last of the "Epsom Cluster" of five large psychiatric and mental handicap...

So here’s my first post. Much of St. Cadoc’s Hospital, a mental hospital in Newport, is disused. We decided to explore during the night as there would be less activity, as the hospital is still partially operational. Security actively watch the site and caught us in the end, but here’s what we...

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...

Background Just a quick one today - nearly didn't bother reporting but thought it'd be of interest to those into your county asylums and mental deficiency colonies. South Ockendon was one of the latter - a kind of spin-off institution to the asylums, of the likes of Harperbury, which were...

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 -...

Had slayaa round for pizza last night and we were chatting about how long it had been since id done a report., then tonight was having a hard drive/sd card sort and found some pics from an explore me and the mrs went on with @The_Raw so thought fook it might aswell throw them up. I know its...

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...

Short wee visit to the hospital.
