I’ve walked around the building a few times but haven’t been inside. Great video so thanks for sharing

Just imagine all them poor people that ended up in the morgue these places are fantastic but also very sad fantastic vid you guys thanks.

What a grand old building! Glad you were able to get in. Loved those old arched windows and wooden doors. Really cool explore!

I decided to walk to this place yesterday only to find that it's no longer there. The old hospital building is now completely demolised and what remains there now is piles of bricks and rubble. It's interesting to see some of the floor. But it is a real shame. I did see a video the day before where a fire had broken out probably caused by arsonists and the building was badly damaged. The morgue is still there though. I walked a long way to get there as I live about a couple of miles away from Thorpe St. Andrew. I had to get there from Riverside past the football stadium at Carrow Road and I had to use Google maps on my phone to know whether I'm heading in the right direction.

My great uncle was in one of this hospital just because he had downs n when they closed it he was put on a bed sit on his own which he never knew how to look after himself , because he’d been in there since he was 6 months old . It’s disgusting how people was treated back then

love watching you guys ❤

Hi, thank's, interesting video. I trained as a RMN there for a short time in 1976. I was mainly on the south side where there was also the nurses accommodation. Where you were through the tiled main entrance If you turned right there was a big room where patients socialised. The wards were mostly long corridors with cells on both sides, you could tell which ones were padded cells, these had rounded corners. The north side was originally for male patients and the south for females. I believe that the population was more than 1000 on each side. There was a bridge between the two sides over the Thorpe Road and every Sunday the men would be escorted to the church and join the women. There was a toilet by the bridge and every man would want a pee and this way have more time out of the wards. There were 3 mental hospitals on the outside of Norwich, Hellesdon and The David Rice near Drayion were the others. Up until the 50s a door was closed near the end of the long corridor in The David Rice and this became an operating theatre for leubotamies and top leucotamies. This was carried out I was told by the padded cells and near the office on the male side. I remember that ward 4 on the south side had a cage built outside in the garden especially for one man who was a danger to the public., I was warned not to talk to him. Another two men on ward 3 {medium long stay) got on really well. One was a masochist and would wind the other up who would punch him as he didn't have a conscience. There were real characters there. in the 70s small shared flats were made for patients above the main entrance in South side of Thorpe hospital. This was for patients who were quite well but couldn't leave because they were so intitutionalised.

Anything like this fascinates me. I was a nurse at Brookwood hospital in the 80's

Great explore guys! I always get the chills visiting mortuarys

My mate showed me this place a while ago. I always wanted to go in, but I was afraid so I never went in. Glad I found a video showing the inside.

What an interesting explore,i was lucky enough to see this place about 7 yeaers ago.I was doing a night shift at the near by Jarrolds print works and went into that wing early next morning.I did,nt go all the way in,to afraid of bumping into the junkies!

Brilliant video and info on the history. Really enjoyed this:)

I was so pleased to see inside the Asylum, thank you. My great grandfather worked there. On the 1871 and the 1881 census's he was living in Thorpe with his family, and was listed as 'Engine Driver At The Lunatic Asylum'. Probably not where you were looking, but it all adds up to making my family research more interesting. My grandmother used to tell me how she would stand at her garden gate and watch the poor unfortunate people going past, along the lane, until her mother called her away...

Great explore guys! Enjoyed the walk through and pics.

Hi there thank you so much I've always wanted to get a closer look at the hospital. I want to share an experience I once had near the hospital. I was brought up In a place called Brundall. Its not far from Thorpe, when I was 6 My mum used to work in the pub called The Swan in Thorpe. My mum would take me and my sister there some days while she worked. she would drive past the hospital to get to work , for people that don't know the hospital is near a roundabout when I was 6 the roundabout wasn't there it was built years later, its off one of the turnings off the roundabout then there's a long straight road where you can see the front of the hospital all the way down the road. As my mum drove past I would get the chills every time we went past. Years later I was about 17 at the time would of been 1997 so I guess it would of been shut then. I was taking my dog for a long walk I had moved to Norwich by then Norwich is about 3 minutes drive from Thorpe. I was thinking about the hospital so I wanted to take a look around there as I have never see it up close.. I started walking down the long road leading to the hospital and my dog started to growl which she had never done before She wasn't even one at the time so I was shocked I petted her and tried to walk on but she wouldn't budge. I was about to turn away and walk the other way but I thought I sore movement outside the front door that's the part in the middle of the hospital but its quite a way away from where I was standing but you can just make it out. There where about 6 people there I could just make out they where wearing what looked like white or something light in colour They where just standing there looking straight ahead not moving I walked closer to get a better look they didn't move. as I turned to walk away with my dog I looked back and they where gone. I put it down to my imagination. Years later near the hospital they had built a park and ride and a business estate right near the hospital . On the business estate is Norwich union the insurance firm. I went there as I got a job interview there. waiting to be seen there was another woman there I asked her was she as nervous as she looked then she told me what had happened to her. She said she had just past a roundabout I said okay which one as there are 2 near the estate she told me which one so I said oh the one near the hospital she didn't no it was a hospital but said that makes sense then started telling me more. she said there was a women in a night dress just standing there staring right on top of the roundabout and when she drove past it she looked in the rear view mirror and she was gone. If you see the roundabout there was nowhere she could have gone in such a short time . She laughed and said I thought I had seen a ghost I told her it was a psychiatric hospital. I didn't tell her it shut down years ago. I don't believe in ghosts as to me I haven't seen one or were the people I had seen ghosts?!!!! did the lady I was talking to see a ghost!!! or was it a woman who used to live there and had a brake down years later and come back. Why did my dog growl for no reason who where the people I had seen I'm sure there is a explanation for it but its very strange .I thought this might interest you and people that might read this .

Recently subscribed I like your stile, some great urbexing and nice wild camping. Thanks for sharing!!!

I worked here in early 90s, i was an agency nurse. Was one of the best places i worked. I was mainly upstairs on the assessment ward . Its now flats but alot was knocked down. I worked also whittlingham but sadly that has closed down also.

I was a nurse years ago at a place called Brookwood Hospital, very old place, sadly now has flats where it was, I'm sure you would have loved it there x

Those old red brick buildings are quite cool, they should preserve those old buildings.

We enjoyed this one guys, Keep it up👍

Cool explore 👍

MY FANTASTIC COMENT--REALLY ENJOYED THIS VIDEO

Peter Sinclair was in there and we have seen and herd screaming at night from the end room !!

Great video guys! Just subscribed. Been here several times now but never been fully inside as of yet. Also I see you’ve captured my reply to the person who put that new board on the morgue haha 😂

Very interesting, good photography, amazing graffiti 👍

Been thinking about going here with a mate going to try to get on the top floor btw u gained a sub!

Nice one guys. That building is in a right state! Thanks for showing us around it. Who does it belong to and what's happening with it?

Loving the content guys. You rock

You couldn't get me living in there!

Most Victorian asylums had underground tunnels carrying the utilities. Normally high enough to walk in.

Just found out recently that my Grandmother died there in 1934. 6 days after giving birth to my Dad. She was admitted for Acute Mania following childbirth.

Cork ghost researchers thank you glad u liked it

Oh wow the window that is boarded up is the one I used to get in before, and the one you went in was boarded up, what games they playing 😂 I went in November 2017

great video, how did you gain access to the main building?

Why don't they knock that place down and make it into flats, or else get it back into a good state so people can go and see it, or get it made into a modern hospital????? People are always saying there's a shortage of psychiatric beds, there are loads of people who need them, why not put beds and people who need them together???????????????????

Good Explore Guys 👍

I worked there in 70s when I was teen I was pupil nurse fantastic hospital back in day people actually lived and worked for pocket money these were patients who had severe mental health issues I lived in nurses home other side of road there was north side South side

Soo cool

I lived round here and went to school round the corner, always a beautiful building thank you so much for doing this, was a shame it couldnt be re-purposed as a community hospital as there isnt one near there. 👍 another asylum not far from there if theres any left of it.. little plumstead

Great video looks creepy

My grandad used to work there

Really cool explore guys! Can't wait to find an abandoned insane asylum! But no luck until now! If it smelled cannabis propably someone was there earlier.... Joined you and hoping to check mine also! Wishing great Explores! 🍀✌️👍

another place i know sadly most of it has been burned down now. story i have with place is my aunt had a miscarriage and had a break down and was in this hospital for a little while. i wasnt born yet so i dont rember it lol.

hey great video, i checked out the hospital/asylum today and it was obviously all boarded up, probably due to the recent murder that happened there. i was wondering where the morgue is? is it near the asylum? how did you enter the asylum with it all boarded up

Gotta love this place. Fly alot there. Shame they are taking it down soon

I worked here early 90s

I bet people were dying to get in there!

We went to find a way in will have to go back and get a way in next time

Is it still abandoned and can you go in still do you know? Really intrigued xx

I feel like I saw stairs in one of the rooms? Couldn’t u have went up those stairs?

And she spent most of my childhood in hellesdon hospital

is this place still there or has it been demolished

Hello! I'm in East England looking to get into urban exploration is there any cool places to look at in the area?

Me an my partner went today an it was pretty amazing my partner went in right away but I was too scared 😟 He also went into the other building the “morgue” was a group before us but they disappeared ?? Then a couple turned up an we all spoke about what we knew bout the place Now I wanna go see more Just a shame it had no upper floor But real amazing still the same Thanks for your video guys I wanted to see something but would’ve shit myself if I did lol 😂

It's funny when people think things are haunted or buildings are haunted etc. There are no demons/witches/ghosts/ etc. Man is evil enough. That's all I would be afraid of. Some evil guy not a phantom. LOL

Whats the postcode??

Is the building still there and accessible

I’ve been in there😂😂

I live near that place

Someone got murdered there RIP

Ayyy I’ve been in that building

Is there asbestos??
