So yeah, a dining room.
Nice one Motts ;)

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.

*big

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

I would just like to point out that The North Wales Hospital was never called Denbigh Mental, and never Denbigh Asylum!

It was just the main hospital in North Wales, many people were mentally ill, and were drawn to suisude. As im from Denbigh it really anoys me that people make it out to be something it not!

Many people were only in the for illnesses such as depression, many patience were latter let out into "care in the community" because there wasn't much wrong with them, they just couldn't look after them self. Now that people have relised illnesses such as Alzheimer's, depression and just old age is normal theres no need to stick everyone into a hospital and give it a nick name like Denbigh Mental!

I Love erie places

This place is just amazing, i sat there and looked through the gates today. I so want to go and look around..... Tanya

it is a old mental hospital ............... not a prison or AUSWTIZ!!!!!!!

lol find most of these comments weird as how many of you have actually been in the place and not just looked at the pictures ? well i have been in there at 2 oclock in the morning last year before the building work started around it and it is a very eiry place to be. Although some of the rooms looked like they where been done up such as new tiles on the walls and newley plastered walls i found very strange to be honest. There was weird noises and corridors blocked off by the rubblle and fallen down ceilings. Bearing in mind this place only closed down in 1995 the deteriation of the place is amazing. Lots of weird things happened there when i went with a group of friends such as, the danger dogs patrolling sign was wrong even though in one of the pictures we took there is a dog standing between my two friends but we never saw it there or heard it, surely it would have barked or something if it was ment to be guarding the building. Must say though it is a beautifull building and would love to see it restored. On one hand feel sorry for the people that got experimented on there but on the other it has helped in todays society of medicines and the way surgery is conducted.

Such a beautifull and unique design. (For an asylum that is.) Or if you prefer the term correctional facility. (Spelling?) I suppose it depends on your view point.

But again, It's such a lovely building though I took a look at what was suspected to be a seclusion room in a previous photo of yours, it was very small and had a fernace or heater of some sort jutting from the wall, I did not find that very safe for the patient.

It looks almost like a castle, that would quite confuse me if I were to ever pass by without knowledge of what the place was. (Provided there were no signs pointing out the obvious.)
