800 Comments for Great Barr Colony (St Margaret's Hospital)

i love this image

this place will be restored, until then keep away. thanks

anyone who wants to try and get near the place, better think again. it private property, and u are likely to get attacked by guard dogs. same if u are caught on the grounds. in other words keep off.

since there's nothing I can find to compare I can't understand the scale of this room. it looks to me like it was made out of little LEGO bricks.

Ex- male nurse,worked throughtout all of the 70;s loads of stories to tell.

Were there hot tubs on that floor... ? So that those hospital patients could take baths and relax.

Looks like wallpaper

When that machine was being used, it probably did get very hot in the 1930's.

Did those bottom level rooms keep several of those very sick or forgotten hospital patients... ?

whatever that is its really creepy

top photo. i have seen a photo of the hall inside from its former glory when the great staircase was there and the abundance of paintings on the walls. a close friend has camcorder footage from the same location recently and comparisons are stunning. spooky cellar too.... woah!

All I can say is WOW!

God ! This photograph has such a feeling of dread.

I worked at st Margarets hospital from 1987 till 1989 at a disabled horse / donkey riding centre built with in the grounds of the hospital. whilst i had worked there, before demolishment of the old hall there had been reports made by nursing staff at the hospital that the ghost of Sir Joseph Scott had been seen amonst the ruins of his once home, also the ghost of a grey lady used to be seen in mid air (floating) walking down the area where the great stair case once stood in the ruins.
