north wales hospital

The Denbigh mental! Probably one of the few places where its history post dereliction is just as interesting as pre. The building is probably the most famous abandoned building in the urban exploration scene and has about 100x reports on it, It had the ghosts, the mystery fires, a local nut who...

Hi, I’m benjy this is my first report. Decided to make one last return to Denbigh's Lunatic Asylum before it is demolished for good.. Obviously (with good reason) a very popular place amongst the urbex community! Without going into too much details.. Originally known as the North Wales County...

Hi, I'm natasha this is my first post. Reasonably new to urban exploration. Became addicted after a unplanned trip around denbigh so only seems right to make it my first post. Obviously very popular for many years in the urbex community so I won't give all the history. Constructed between...

Hi everyone! This is my first post here. I'm writing an essay on the culture of trespassing on the site of Denbigh Asylum, and was hoping that some of you may tell me what your experiences have been. Personally, I grew up in the area, and so as a teenager would access the site often. Now that...

The Explore We were on our way to another site and this happened to be on our journey from Conwy. Naively thought we'd only be there for a short period of time having heard over the years how badly damaged it is now. Well, we were wrong. Should have taken our lunch and our DSLRs, but neglected...

History: In 1808 the County Asylums Act empowered local authorities to use funding to build institutions to house those with mental illnesses. At this time Wales lacked a Lunatic Asylum of its own and as a result Welsh patients were being sent to English institutions such as those at Yorkshire...

So this is my first post and my first real explore and it is one i wanted to do pretty quickly before the whole place is redeveloped. I must say i thought that much more work would have taken place on site after seeing other peoples visits in the last year or so, i had read on a news web page...

I’m not to good with histories of places but I know this has been posted many times before and been covered quite extensively on other peoples posts so just enjoy the pictures I guess :) also the security guard was a pretty cool guy

Greeting Lads & Lassies. Drove past Denbigh today, seems to have turned a corner and the council have thrown everything behind their CPO. Anyone entered the premises of late?, and what’s the score if you did?. Last visited 5 or so years ago, but it’s starting to look a bit heavy. ‍♂ Was hoping...

I was pretty sure I was the only person on the planet who’d never been to Denbigh. And with rumours swirling about the appearance of construction materials, machinery and imminent demolition a plan was formulated to finally see it before it was too late. As it turned out I actually enjoyed the...

I won't do the history on this place as it's been done so many times before. The Explore We knew how much of a state this place was in but seeing as it's part of UK urbex history. We had to see it at least once before it's eventual demise and took the couple of hour trip from Nottingham...

Hi , for my first thread i thought i would post some interior GoPro stills of one of my many visits to the hospital

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...

Hi all, I've been reading up a lot about Denbigh and would love to visit, and don't want to put it off for too long as I missed visiting Severalls Hospital before it was demolished! But it is a very long way for me to travel and I don't want to be disappointed. Has anyone been recently, is it...
