locally known as denbigh mental , it served as a large employer for the local community since 1844 until its demise in 2002 , the hospital was built to house welsh mental patients with welsh speaking nurses , so few of the welsh lower classes spoke english that it was deemed cruel to send them to english asylums who were equally ignorant of the welsh language , an auntie of mine who worked at the hospital in the 1960s told me how she and many others shouted abuse and heckled ACKER BILK when he performed at the hospital theatre and treated staff n patients as country yokel bumpkins and performed half heartedly as he did,nt like the venue his agent had booked him ! right thats the history bit over !
THE VISIT- i visited with fellow member cazel#HT early in the morning to avoid unwanted attention ! we was on the premises for apox 3 hours and felt that we had only scratched the surface , we was taken back by the level of decay the hospital has fallen into , we kept one eye on what was above us at all times , and one on what we was walking on ! if you do visit folks , be bloody careful ! check out my pics !!!!
while leaving to visit another potential derp , ELWYN the self appointed security guard caught us in the open , he could see we were festooned in camera equipment and not a bunch of scallies on a vandalism spree , we let him say his piece about trespassing ,dangers of collapsing buildings , asbestos and setting his german sheppard on us , which did not perturb us one bit ...lol ,we did nothing to antagonise the situation and made him feel like he had done a good job , we were then escorted out with him driving his jeep slowly behind us as we chatted away merrily about our next visit to denbigh mental .....lol
