I am a denbigh resident now living in edinburgh, or NEAR edinburgh. Denbigh Mental, from wha I can remember was a horrible place. It looks even worse now that it lies empty. I used to have to go there as a child of 4 or 5 for my EEGs (i was epileptic) because that was the only hospital at the tine that did them so regularly.
I remember sitting in a whitewashed room with a one way window/mirror and a room on the other side with all the equipment (god it was ancient then and it was the 1980s) and I was sat on the opposite side on a bed that looked more like a morgue slab.

They should really do something with the place becauseit's a real shame. 100yrs gone to the ground because of damn maggie thatcher.

And yes, Ffordd Allan means way out...even though the LITERAL translation would become ROAD EXIT...lol
