I can't believe this was posted almost a year ago and that it only has about two thousand likes? The way you are presenting your footage without any "creepy" (annoying) music and how you are so respectful not touching the old documents or not moving anything around is simply fantastic! You have earned another sub! I love this video! Thanks for sharing!

As someone who has been in a mental health hospital before for my OCD I can’t imagine the horrendous treatment I would have received back then , the torture they put people through makes me sick

I was a patient in one of the last victorian style asylums in the UK shortly before it closed, back in 2006. It was eerie because they had been closing it down ward by ward. My ward was about one of two left. In its heyday it would have been absolutely sprawling. Miles and miles of corridors, vast land, a theatre, shops on site, hairdressers, a church etc. It was like a village.

Whenever I watch these abandoned videos, I always get a weird/funny feeling inside. ...I always think of the people who passed through these places, where are some of them now, who died there, and always think about how these hospitals etc used to be a bustling place and I always feel like they are memories that I have lived. It's really hard to explain the feeling and I'm high as hell right now

Such an interesting find. If only the walls could talk. Thanks for sharing guys

it's actually really sad as someone who's going to a mental hospital in a month here to see the past of neglected people who just really needed help in life like myself, but were mistreated and neglected. Thanks for covering this.

Some amazing features, but really sad history.. Leaves you with a strange feeling... Great work guys!

Beautiful Building You Explored, Great Job Guys,Love The Architecture Brings The Sun In, Loved The Stain Glass Windows 😊❤

First thing picked up on was the masonic flooring 😮, sent chills down the spine, glad I will never have to stay there. Thanks for the vid .

Hi guys. Great explore. Old hospitals of any department are very interesting to see architecturally. Old buildings of any kind are interesting to see actually. Thanks for the video 😀

You guys are the undoubted class leaders in this type of videography. The way you never force entry, never so much as disturb a document, even though you must be itching to find out more, and your superb commentary showing your fascination and sympathetic view of the buildings. The chequerboard corridors were a common feature of the asylums of that era. A girlfriend of mine did her psychiatric nurse training in Worcester in the early 80s, including at the notorious Powick Hospital featured in your video, and all the corridors were like that, with sedated and catatonic patients shuffling up and down to "elevator music" over the tannoy. Creepy! I'm not sure whether "care in the community" has been the success that Thatcher envisaged, and there does need to be more mental health provision in Britain, but these old places, with their outdated and often barbaric practices, were not the answer. Thanks guys!

That was a brilliant video. Really respectful of the property and very informative too. Nicely done. 👍🏼

Excellent video. Thank you for sharing 🙏

What an amazing place, me and my mate went inside for a look about, what a waste of such an amazing building.

In leeds they don't have any spaces for mental health patients so there sending them to Scotland instead. It is really bad not enough money is given to the NHS to provide better care for people with mental illness. Shocking this day and age that we are forgotten about.

The "cells" at the beginning werealmost certainly bedrooms I would say. They can be locked from the inside, as well as being unlockable from the outside. The windows look to have a blind type mechanism which can be opened and closed from outside to allow staff to perform general observations without disturbing service users

insanely clean filming and exposure choice throughout. thumbnail goes crazy too

Just subscribed, been enjoying your videos for a while and this was a really great explore. I've always been interested in this area of social history, I live near the sites of two former asylums in Birmingham (Hollymoor and Rubery Hill) so this made it even more fascinating for me. I like that you remembered the horrors and mistakes of the past as this should never be forgotten, thankfully things are a lot better these days as we are more educated and enlightened in mental health issues.

HI guys another fantastic video and thank you for making it. The filming and the commentary was excellent.

There was one in bromsgrove worcestershire called Barnsley hall, I explored when I was a kid.. it’s been knocked down now and turned into houses.. but the main entrance and unmarked graves are still there.

That place is cefyn coed my dad my my mum and my grandfather worked there for 25 years each they know a lot of history and I was brought up around that place in SWANSEA!!

I’m shocked at how well preserved it is inside

Another amazing building and video guys. Wish it was a bit longer video

Another quality explore lads.

Awesome video. :) Sub earned. Lol😅 btw I love abandoned asylums and malls and airports and amusement parks

i see some rooms still look good and clean though they have been negleted,,thank you for this channel to bring me to other experience life

Was a beautiful building with a terrible history,,, the so many lost souls that wondered those corridors now long dead,, they the lucky ones.

Great explore.x

Asylums were never more needed than now. So-called 'Care in the community' simply isn't working and dangerous people who cannot function in normal life are committing thousands of violent crimes and not being cared for properly. These places must never, never permit any cruelty, but like it or not they ARE vital for humanity to function and to ensure comprehensive care of the mentally ill.

I suffer from severe Social and General Anxiety aswell as having a Neurological problem. Back in the early days i probrably would have been committed because of my problems but thankfully not by todays standards.

The whole hospital isn't abandoned. There are still about 100 or so patients there who now complain about feeling unsafe because there's random people flying drones and recording them and creeping through the hospital when they might be going out for a walk.

Great video guys and an amazing set of buildings just going to waste. I am not a believer of ghosts, but its at time like this I wished there were and we could have a chat with them, although in this case it may be more of a nightmare conversation. Thanks as always lads.

This is such an important insight...

I just watched a proper people video, and an asylum in New jersey had the same exact tile floor design.

it is so sad, alot of these people don't look like they're mentally ill, more like elderly sick people that need care because they're not able to care for themselves , and they just threw them in there as if they were mentally ill. so sad . the place is so interesting, just thinking of all those people that one day walked through those hallways . thanks for sharing. love watching

Fabulous video as always. In the closing sequence, is that one of you flying a drone? I assume you must be to get the high altitude footage. Cheers, Mark.

We must never forget the victims of the old asylums and the barbaric treatment they underwent, these were lost souls wanting help yet treated like animals for sadistic means. A tragic representation of lunesy would be the fictional R.M.Renfield from Bram Stokers novel Dracula. God heartbreaking!

Awesome!!!

Would like to see more rooms instead of mostly hallways please!

Really interesting ❤

Yeah alot of the building in total looks like it could be refurbished and used again to bad for the vandalism not surprising they see its over unfortunately.

I need to find a group of friends in the USA who would be interested in doing this sort of exploration. I’m really interested in exploration of abandoned buildings especially Asylums.

FINALLY BRO SPECIAL ENTERTAIMENT!

C'est encore plus terrible maintenant car les personnes au mental dérangé se trouvent souvent dans la rue sans soins et abandonnés de tous, au moins dans l'hôpital ils avaient un lit, des repas et des soins

Looks very similar to hellingly asylum east Sussex but been torn down for housing good content

Thank you for this moving video it says a lot about the NHS as a whole and how it is struggling now a beautiful building that could of still been used but it isnt I have been a inpatient many times in psychratic units because I have complex mental health conditions and they were struggeling then why did others have to destroy such a beautiful building with a horrific past

Having worked in a mental health hospital for 11 years it’s definitely not for the faint hearted……

Love the chequered flooring

Hi Alistar how are you doing? Great video you have uploaded again as always this place is an absolute tip it needs to be cleared out completely the outside I mean asylums and metal hospitals are nasty places to go to back in the olden times as people got abused too which meant the final nail in the wall was out and the places had to close hope your having a good day so far Alistar and keep up the amazing content as always 👍

I went with a friend of mine to visit one of her friends in these places, I really didn't like the feeling you got inside there, just creepy and upsetting, never want to set foot in one again whether operating or abandoned

Thankyou

Almost looks like the one in Greater Manchester and it is still a live hospital but for staff use only, paitients are in modern buildings.

i knew mental hospitals were absolute shit considering ive been to 5 different ones but i never thought about how CRUEL the staff actually were back then

Hello good video of the hospital and also what year did it get abandoned in and what was the reason for.

This place has to be one of the largest I've seen anyone explore. Its HUGE!!

The few always spoil it don't they. Makes me bloody angry. It was nice to see this as it was nigh on impenetrable when we tried about ten years back. The only other asylum I've seen like it was Severalls. Most of the rest were just a mass of wet rot like Whittingham. Great explore chaps!

Terrible shame they have let that building go to such a mess. We need mental health hospitals. More so now than years ago. Could you please tell me the date it was opened and closed if you have those details thanks.

Hello👋 I just subscribed to your channel today, I also just gave you a like.👍👌

Espectacular.

Did i just find a UK version of The Proper People?! Sure hope so!

I was thinking of going there been told there is no access inside anymore

I would be tempted too turn on all the light on ready for the night shift too see lol

Fab video guys! What a place, those corridors and floors reminded me of the original Half Life PC game! ..also... First! 🤣

We are going back to this system right now. I can see it coming, Give it a decade or so..

Very interesting is this Whitchurch hospital ?

A lot of the old mental hospitals were originally TB Asylums. Sunlight was thought to help. That’s why hallways of windows.

sir what street is this hospital located at my parents want two know.

Sick😢😢😢

Mega Schönheit Danke für das zeigen 👍👍👍

A good video however since there is a section of this site which is still operating as a Mental Hospital. Why didn't you cooperate with them in the making of this film? They may have said no but they may also very likely have said yes and being quite happy to answer your questions about the sites history. Just seems to me like you've done the undercover 'Urbex' route purely for dramatic effect.

Great video - obviously hasn't been closed for long. Its also not much of an 'asylum' but more a pretty modern psychiatric hospital 😏

Intriguing…

The chequered floor reminds me of Terminator 2

Sad😢

They tried something called The Assertive outreach team it failed miserably, the so called nurses or what ever they were ment to be called was only with the patients about half an hour then that was it leaving the partners to continue to struggle on

Love

The horror of the past we can not change but learn from and not repeat, but what horror would the patients of got at home a lot worse then been in the hospital the horror of today we can change but do we till its to late

It looks like the hospital I was in last year...

Hi! Was this filmed in the asylum this year? Cheers

10:40 how’d you lose bed wheels??

The most interesting parts which are the rooms and documents are not shown. 😞

There's one in raddlet you need to vist

They could do sooo much with that place like a hmo or apartment's someone needs to rescue that place before the elements take over and ruin it.

Many many normal people have been killed .. resulting from so called ( care in the community) the institutions are needed to facilitate their safety but more importantly the safety of society so that it can function properly.

Why do they let these places Rot . Great vids Guys 👍👍

They still do those trees in mh units

It's definately not a Victorian Asylum as it was opened in 1932. The architect George Thomas Hine however was ;) 🙏

this hospital class opened in 1981.

This asylum reminds me of Franbow for some of lol

what street is your guys hospital located at my parents want two know what street because they want two take pictures of your hospital.

I managed to explore the mental asylum at Denbigh up here near me in North Wales. An utterly vast, fascinating and incredibly creepy place. I’ve not experienced such a place since. Fantastic explore of another truly amazing building. They should never have introduced Care In The Community. It does not work and we need places like this more than ever now I’m very sad to say

that's how it was at a former state hospital here in Oregon Dammasch State Hospital its been closed for years i had family in there that either disappeared our died a weird death our got raped and had a kid they never met

including my teacher two sir.

Please do blackpool bonny street police station lads

Nursing homes are full of them

and they even have blinds in there hospital two class from the 1981s.

Corridors like Terminator 2. Same floor. 😎💀

That place looks like Nova Prospekt

I bet the people here were the most sane ones alive at the time and challenged the authority keeping them in bondage.

very very old old hospital in the 1950s class.
