History
Originally owned by Sir Walter Bagot, the current buildings were rebuilt in the late 1820′s. It was acquired by the North Wales Counties Mental Hospital and opened in 1937 to accommodate 87 patients for relief of overcrowding at the much larger Denbigh Asylum. Its official designation was as a psychiatric convalescent home. It eventually closed in 1990 and has laid derelict ever since. It appears that some building work was once planned/carried out but now has been left to slowly decay in the woodlands that surround it.
The Explore.....
We had already hit Denbigh in the early hours and after a Maccie D refuel we made the 5 mile drive to Pool Parc. Awesome place, with no secca and a walk in.
To be honest I was shocked at the level of decay inside and that it had been mindlessly trashed, theres just no need for it. The chair , staircase and outer were the only interests for us photo wise but we mooched around the rest of the place anyway..
The pics...
Front lounge or dining
The infamous 'chair'

Cheers and thanks for looking...
