1,933 Comments for North Wales Hospital (Denbigh Asylum)

Now that is bloody narrow. Good pic though. Interesting angle too

A lot of psychiaric hospitals in the U.K. are not as trashed as their counterparts in the States. Yes there are destructive hooligans nearly everywhere but it seems like we Brits have a little more sense. I'm not putting down anybody intentionally it's only my opinion. Cheers

motts do u update ur work???????

When I was 7 me and my sister were in a childrens mental hospital for a short time when etc was still widely done, she had so many problems that they considered ect for her even though she was only 10, she never got etc though and we werent in the much longer after that anyway...

This is stupid.

I took welsh GCSE

it means way out.

no translation my bum.

This has been demolished. The current owners are widely implicated, though not yet charged, with having someone commit Arson in an effort to get rid of the Bats that lived there, and prevented demolition/Renovation. This didn't work, they have just moved into another part of the building. You can hear them, as I did when I was there a few weeks ago. It is in a very sorry state indeed these days, so these pictures are a nice reminder of how it was.

sliding automatic doors are the simplistic answer in every medical facility I've seen.

NEVERMORE gets a point here. IL has outlets & sockets going both ways. Personally, I associate socket with light bulbs. "no outlet" IS a funny way to say "dead end" ...or, for that matter, blind alley! ;) Ice blocks, Felyne? seriously? -BTW, "Davenport" was a brand of convertible sofa/couch. I've also wondered if the Hoover brand of vacuum cleaners has lost it's name copyright in Britain. Here, we may Hoover, but we also Oreck! ;) ;)

Voluntary (and nice) electro-stimulation PT: electrodes applied around my kneecap with an ice pack over it-stimulation along with the ice to reduce excess inflammation.
Involuntary jolt: being tasked with topping off horses' water buckets by putting a hose through the stall bars. Specifically, these two horses were owned by a diva who insisted on running electric wire across the entire front (in)side of their stalls. For instant fun, just add water! Ouch. Rather punishing to those of us just trying to fill a water bucket!

I think it's a "check mark" X..."gone through and emptied, leave door open so we remember we did"

I was 6.

You guys think the renovation is bad?!?!

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

Ysbyty Gwynedd has some pretty deadly rotating doors...

When I went to see my Dad on my 17th bday (he had pneumonia), my little brother nearly got stuck in the doors!

That will be gone soon... imagine it.

I need to go explring before they rip it down...
Shame I'm in the Police :P I'll be screwed if they catch me!!

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.
