My uncle was put in this place by my grandad because he cheeked him! He spent the best part of 50 odd years in this hellhole. when it closed, he was in his twilight years and moved to a home, where he died a few months later. l will never forger visiting him with my father when l was a kid, and each time we went, he seemed to be more and more drugged. We believe he had awful electric shock treatments as well as other things that went on in there. Anyone who says they have fond memories should think again, maybe for the staff, but certainly not for the patients! Many of the patients there had treatable illnesses which are deemed NORMAL in todays society.
