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

The only home I can think of that had a piano was Wills Home and one of the patients of the home was taught, as a child, by his Grandmother to play the piano. When he was in a good mood and if you asked him nicely he would play a few tunes for the patients and staff. They were happy days.

well sarah i apologise for my language but this destruction has gone on unpunished for too long.you should man up and tell the police who did it.if your not local and you weren`t part of it how do you know who did it.do the right thing

It's a good thing you were able to get some shots of this place, before it was demolished. Love the Chapel! Too bad they didn't use it for prayer.

solomon92 iv heard a mans voice by the weird looking bridge and people will just think im lieing but im not the place is deffo haunted and tbh what is ever over there doesnt like anyone trespassing i agree with solomon92 the ghosts have been there way before the guards and will be there after aswell for along time.

my mom used 2 take me here when i was really little and sketch pictures of the old hall when she worked in the hospital ^_^

To heather, no we don't ride over there now and haven't done for a while cause it got too dangerous for the horses. When they moved the security from the Chapel Lane end of the homes the vandals got in and the scap people so there was lots of stuff thrown all over the roads and all the metal drain lids/ manhole covers were taken leaving
large holes everywhere some of which were covered by grass so we had to stop. The authorities then had to seal the place up to stop the gypsies getting on so that also stopped us but from what I've heard they are supposed to open the Chapel Lane side up eventally as a country park as Bovis have no permission to build on this side but weather this will happen only time will tell. If it does then perhaps I'll ride round there in the future. At the present time the hall is still in a terrible state and nothing more has happened to the lakes or grounds, Bovis still plod on building their over priced tin pot houses on the other side, God knows who is mad enough to pay £260.000 for a 3 bedroomed terrace house with a postage stamp garden!!
Jiff I can't remember his name off the top of my head but will find it out for you and post it, I really wonder if the man who owns the hall or the council will ever put it back to how it was!! Very sad but I'm not confident it will ever hapen.

Well security there are far more ghost than just the grey lady and people will never stop talking about them just cause your night guards not amused!!! They've been there alot longer than you and will still be there after you've all gone.
Watch out for the rather large man who appears just over the bridge in and around the old farm, I've seen him a couple of times, very creepy!!
Hope you have a good night!!
