Well, someone went and burnt the hall down!!
There is also a motor museum near the asylum, someone set that on fire too...

However, the disco ball still exists :P

Jude, you're right about them naming things after places in Wales.

I'm Italian, but moved to Wales when I was very little. (I'm still quite small now, at 4'11!)

I live near Denbigh, and went to school in the North Wales area. Hospitals still use welsh place names for their wards, and my secondary school used Welsh river names for the different houses in the school.

Wait till you see the rest of the hospital... graffiti and everything.
Recently, somone set fire to the ball room.

Squatters also live in the hospital.

One is called Carlton and his parents died and left him a house and a substantial amount of money.
He didn't take any of the money, and he burnt the house down.

I live near there... My friend C lives about ten minutes away from the hospital, and has to drive past it every day to get to college.

One moment I will NEVER forget is when we were driving to her house, and the sun was beginning to set, and the sky was crisp and blue. We were on the country lanes and the first thing I saw was the massive clock tower. It was amazing. We pulled over at the gates and got out of the car, and I went to have a look.

I felt so very small just standing at the gates, gazing at the bit brown doors. The hospital has such an attraction to it, I just wanted to go inside...
C has friends who live in the houses next to the hospital. I'm jealous of them :P
