talgarth

Our old friend the Mid Wales needs no introduction and, some may also argue, no further enquiry, given the sorry state it's in. The site is in such an advanced state of decomposition and so unrecognisable that it's former use as a hospital can only be gleaned from forensically searching for...

The Talgarth mental the name Doesn't exactly roll off the tongue like its northern brother does it, despite that it also has had its share of crazy history post abandonments with a self proclaimed security guard said to smear poo around the site, when the roof slate was sold in secret Illegally...

The Brecon and Radnor Asylum at Talgarth was founded in 1900 - a relatively late addition to the countries established county asylums.. The relatively poor agricultural counties of Wales like Breconshire and Radnorshire had little hope of affording the cost of a dedicated Asylum on their own and...

Here's my recent visit to Talgarth Asylum/hospital brilliant explore

Well it's trashed beyond trashed but still interesting. Quite a few explorers there (still) when we visited. This asylum has been rinsed/documented many times over, so not much more to add then photos!!

Recently you might have seen my Whitchurch report. Well as promised, here's a roundup of all the Welsh asylums I did on these two trips with @KismetJ plus one in Bristol on the way back along the M4. They weren't all successes, others were the result of multiple visits and planning. This report...

Visited this place on the way back from the asylum in north Wales (report to come soon), after driving back from the north Wales asylum, I had the burning desire to stay there for a night time visit, but luckily coming here satisfied my need for exploration! Getting in was easy enough, I was...

My 1st post guys well a Nice sunny day we chose to drive to Talgarth within 5 minutes of arrival sitting having a snack Merv turned up kept driving back & forth but eventually we got a break and we slipped in easily & spent a good 2 1/2 hours inside a lot is a total death trap so chose to take...

The Mid Wales Hospital, originally the Brecon and Radnor Joint Counties Lunatic Asylum was a psychiatric hospital in Talgarth, Wales It was opened on March 18, 1903 and like other asylums of that time it was designed to be self-sufficient, and had its own private water, electricity, heating...

HOSPITAL (ASYLUM). Think this has been shared a fair few times, and did some research afterwards. I try not to look into buildings before I visit, I like to read after after I’ve been. Main entrance. Built in and opened 1900’s, the hospital was a Joint “Lunatic” Asylum, and operated for...

Okay first backpost: obviously no-one has ever seen this rarely seen location :)) History Black Mountain Business park... ahem Brecon and Radnor Joint Asylum opened in 1903, taking 3 years to build designed by Giles, Gough and Trollope in a plan that gave a ring of wards around a central yard...

Mid Wales Hospital, Talgarth, June 2022 Like most current and former mental institutes and asylums across the UK they have all operated under numerous names, for the most part The Mid Wales Hospital (Ysbyty Canolbarth Cmyru) has been referred to as Talgarth Asylum over the years although from...

Long time lurker, first time poster so any points about my report are welcome! :) Old explore but I wanted to make sure I at least kind of know what is expected in a post before I post any of my more recent explores (and if my photos upload properly!). This asylum was built in 1900 but didn’t...

A brief bit of history - The hospital was opened in 1903 after taking 3 years to build. It was use to take in psychiatric patients, however throughout the second world war the hospital took in wounded patients and also soldiers that had suffered with PTSD. The site conducted two very...
