Can you imagine how much the place cost to run on heating alone, not to mention the upkeep of such an old building???? Best thing the tories did was close all them places down, saves the tax payers a fortune!!! (Those who pay tax anyhow). Shame it wasn`t turned into something else though, was a nice building in it`s day.

i was a patient on Arenig ward and others too i was so ill at the time,it was a great help to me then but not the several doses of ECT;;;;;;;. i would never want to enter such a place EVER again, when i was taken there after closure,i cried about what i had gone through as a patient at that time, but it,s very sad to see the building in such a state these days , i blame the tories for this,,,,, and people want them back ??????

the light colours on the walls in asylums are to dull or calm the mind as opposed to bright colours which would stiulate the patient. i know this because my mum is a psychiatric nurse.

Oh, and completely random info - it's pronounced 'Uhstahvell vooitah'. Trouble is that the 'll' sound doesn't exist in the English language...

...you have to sort of put the tip of your tongue on your palate and blow air across the sides of your tongue (like a slightly bonkers sideways lisp, really), without using your voice at all.

And this concludes my pointless and dull lecture :p

This hall sadly was burned down November 2008. Some kids allegedly set fire to the floor in there. Very sad. I was hoping to shoot a horror movie there but can't be allowed in since the fire.
