uhm, nice walls. I like that place :)

High Royds ? Luckily now the only pain I get is Hemma Roids

I cant believe this place is set for demo next year - what is this world coming to? Its stunning.. I wanna buy it, anybody fancy chipping in?

I've had ECT used on me several times. I have schizoaffective disorder and it was the only thing that could pull me out of a very deep depressive episode and worked much more reliably and quickly than any medication.

I do have some memory loss from that time, but it was done with anethesia and the worst side effects I ever suffered were just some mild jaw pain or headaches. The side effects of my depressions were far worse.

It also was a lot safer treatment for my depressive episodes when I was pregnant, when I had it done 2 or 3 times with intubation to help prevent any aspiration due to a weaker stomach.

Yes, it used to be a torture, but now it has come back as a lifesaving treatment for those who simply don't respond that well to medications.

THE GUY SEEMS TO BE IN VERY OLD CLOTHES LIKE 1950 STYLE. IF ITS A CLOSED SITE WOULD HE HAVE HAD TO WEAR HIGH VIS GEAR AND HARD HAT?

It is a good picture, but i wouldn't walk down there in the middle of the night doing an investigation on my own

I'm a nurse in the uk. In the older hospital the medicine cupboard consisted of 3 cupboards in 1 with 3 separate keys.
Key 1 opened the big medicine cupboard which contained the usual everyday drugs.
Key 2 opened a cupboard inside this cupboard and held the 1 in 4 drugs or scheduled drugs such as anti depressants, night sedation and strong painkillers.
Key 3 opened the last cupboard which was inside the 1 in 4. This smaller cupboard was called the DDA cupboard (dangerous drugs act) and held the opiates etc.
The 1 in 4 cupboard had "poisons" written in red on the door, and the DDA cupboard, obviously DDA. Scheduled drugs and DDA's are poisons.
Hope this explains things a bit. I don't know what S1 means though.

after watching the activities on most haunted live over the past week i can honestly say what a awesome building, scrolling through the pictures on here i feel like i really can see all the spirits and poltiguists in the rooms, such a shame this building isdue to be demolished would love to see it renevated before the bull dozers takes over

Hey! This is where Most Haunted Live is broadcasring from... cool..... I wanna buy it and live in it lol

most haunted spenf 7 days there thay did it proud

This photo is stunning I wish they weren't going to demolish it thank god there are still hospitals like this one that have been saved I am thankful to you for recording this place in so much detail maybe you could visit other places like this one before they are destroyed so we will never forget that they existed

I agree it should've been renovated but it's past repair now and it would cost a fortune to sort it - believe me if i had the money I would buy the place right now. I thought Prince Charles wanted to save the grade 2 listed buildings they've saved other hospitals like this one admittedly they generally end up as housing but at least they're kept for posterity

I visited this website after spending the past week watching most haunted on living tv's halloween special who visited the hospital to search for the paranormal. The photographs are amazing but sad at the same time I hate seeing beautiful buildings like this go to waste when they could've been transformed into something of use instead of being left to rot like this and the cost to renovate them now would be too much for anyone to consider buying them without demolishing the buildings for the land alone. As a child I went to a school opposite a hospital just like this one that had been closed I often used to wonder at the age of 10 what could be done with it even back then. they have kept the listed buildings and turned the site into housing which is not ideal but better than losing it altogether. I suffer from epilepsy and take medication which controls it but it sends a shiver down my spine to think that 100 years ago instead of going to school opposite I would've been sent to High Royds to endure the pain of shock therapy and not come out. I think it is important to keep the memories of places like this alive as a tribute to the people who lived and died there. I for one will not forget. I suggest you visit their site at www.highroyds.com

Just been watching the Most Haunted that is taking place here this halloween for 7 days, tonight been the last night and i have to say its a gorgeous ruin, shame to let it get demolished :'(

There are some weird looking places in that hospital and id hate to spend time there on my own pn a dark night.

Yes this was a delivery area, it was changed around throughout the days/weeks to serve different pruposes.
