I have just found a website for Denbigh castle, it includes links to all the North Wales castles built by Edward 1 and some history of our Welsh Princes and battles with the English, you might find it interesting

I live ten miles from "Denbigh Mental" as we call it. My friend was taken there after a complete mental breakdown in 1968. I went to visit her and walked down this corridor to the ward. There were people standing against the walls talking to themselves and completely unaware of passing people. when I reached the ward there were beds set in rows against the walls and down the middle. As I passed some beds there was a figure lying in one of them, all covered up, one of the patients laughed and pulled the covers back, it was a wax dummy with its mouth open. At that moment I nearly fainted. It was a fabulous building but the inside was frightening. The care the patients received was excellent but Maggie Thatcher closed all these hospitals and put over 1000 people out of work in Denbigh. Denbigh is an ancient market town close to the moors. fabulous photos!

So for 'therapy' they would bring patients into this hall and show them the picture of what it used to look like. You know, job security... ;o)
