Worked there briefly from October 75 to March 76.

Your hospital letters changed from 1934 to 1976, your stupid staff. You was not going to fool a older generation. Hypoglycaemia low sugar lack of milk intake is genetic fit! Celebral palsy is looking deformed, with physical disabilities. Epilepsy is more than one fit! When you get discharged from a Speech Therapist its being discharged like a genetic person! Hypoglycaemia lack of milk intake and premature case is exam whether a person is looking genetic, without physical disabilities ! Don't ever confuse what is looking generically normal and deformed! Observe yourself do not be fooled!

I saw a chinook too not 1 but 2 really low and it’s really rare

Awesome matey

Great choice of music. So atmospheric and really emphasises the poetry of a beautiful decaying building.

Also did they close the bunker? Because I heard the Littlewoods building was set on fire.

Fascinating

Please spell it correctly. It is FOEL GROCHAN. IT means bald cauldron- moel= bald, crochan= cauldron or bowl/pot.

Shite, more importance given to your production, than the importance of what history you were capturing, very poor

Could have been great, but whizzing around at that speed spoilt it for me, not got clue what’s going on ,

Noice

Visited it many times in the 1960s. Sad to see the condition it is in. Ghastly, irrelevant music 🥴

My old school. :-(

Where abouts on Scout Moor is this?

Back in November 1980 I worked on an outdoor model village that was being created alongside the crazy golf course near the zoo entrance. I was one of 2 joiners working on it, there were 2 brickies and about half a dozen labourers. I was 23 years old and not long moved to Wigan, the other joiner was about 50 years old and the site manager (George Carter) didn't reckon much of him, so when a joiner was needed in the hall they sent for me. I helped a guy called Jim Tattersall (who used to be a ventriloquist variety act back in his younger days), he would design a model & I would build it, the most recognised thing that we built & put a lot of effort into, was the castle which was to take centre stage in the new village, it would have a moat around it and boats pulled around on the moat by a pulley system designed by Jim. I did about 18 months in the hall and I have to admit that I fell in love with the place. I did a lot of repair work within the building over that time and I often ventured around the place on my own. I got to know every nook and cranny of the place and never had any bad vibes from the place, never saw or heard anything out of the ordinary all the time I was there, yes it was a bit spooky at times, especially at winter times, the groundsman would open the main entrance door at around 7.30 in the morning and I would get there for work just as he was leaving, so I was in the place on my own every morning for an hour and a half before anyone else turned up, it was those times that I used to do my exploring as there was no one there to prevent me. I've been down in the cellar many times on my own, creepy, but nothing more, the top 2 floors were always empty, left to ruin, but I was always up there and into every room whenever I got chance. I stumbled into a room once where there were bookshelves full of the council meeting's minutes dating back to the mid 1800s. I found the only entrance onto the roof and used to sunbathe on the wall edge in summer. I was lucky enough to go into one of the top floor rooms one day and find 3 different design models of the new market complex that was to replace the old market hall, built to scale. In 1999 I found myself back there again when they were having a lift installed and a few other alterations done on the stairways. I was working for Jackson Lloyd then. I couldn't resist have another look around, the top 2 floors were then being used as office storage space, and after I'd thought I'd been everywhere in the building I found myself in the small bathroom that you have in this clip, the sink, toilet and I'm pretty sure there was a bath in there too, it was strange, because I'd been watching Antiques Roadshow just a week earlier and they were in a building similar to the hall and pointed out that it still had the same set up with the sink, toilet and bath and they'd given a pretty decent value against it all. I'm shocked at the state of the building now, it's being totally neglected, apart from what I've seen with the upgrade on the roof areas, which is annoying, the lower floors are becoming like the top floors now, the windows are in need of desperate repair, yet they waste money on decking the roof out and putting tables and chairs up there. I loved working in the hall, it had a magical atmosphere, especially at Christmas, they'd have a gigantic (real) tree in the front entrance room, and the smell from that alone brought out the little boy in you. Jim would build a working model village alongside it, similar to the one he'd built in the stable grounds, the hall held many parties there throughout the year, where everything was done as 'Upstairs Downstairs', the girls who prepared and served everything were all in period costume as in the late 1800s/early 1900s, the head girl was Christine and I was lucky enough to bump into her when I revisited the place in 1999, couldn't believe she was still there, the manageress back in the 80s was Ivy, she ran a tight ship, a lovely lady, strict but got the job done. I guess she was like the Hudson of the hall. Well, I hope you've all enjoyed this little read, yes I got a bit carried away, all I meant to say was that the place isn't haunted in my opinion.

A friend of mine grew up Living there he told me played in the cellar full of Egyptian artefacts. Bet that was scary. I went to wedding and between the staircases was a huge portrait of his grandad I remember the fantastic zoo What a place to grow up.

If I ever won the EuroMillions I’d buy it, restore it to former glory and let the people of Wigan enjoy it from time to time.

I worked there for nine years on D Shift going the Milk of Lime, DBO, Kilns and Calcium Chloride plant berths, first part of video shot in the Ash Plant second parts mainly the four MOL Dissolvers, grit and backstone bands, also the flooded primary and secondary slurry pumps between the three tanks. I was the last to leave on my shift covering the DBO berth May 2014. Seen drone footage showing the entire Lime Area Plant gone!

Many spirits still bustle along the corridors of the Hall, going about their daily domestic tasks.

I went up to the roof many years ago, looking at the attic rooms which were very dilapidated and a bit spooky.

This abandoned building is in flint north wales l live 10 minute walk from it

My mum worked there in the 50 ,s Iris Saunders

Did you literally just walk past their house & straight into them? I’m at the house now but it’s very blatant & not like other places I’ve visited that are set apart from housing or the public.

You are a terrible hospital, you are completely crap hospital compared to Manchester Royal. Do you know Manchester Royal hospital looked at archived records on infants & fits. You are below the belt! Manchester Royal do 10 months investigations on fits to rule out diabetes, ultrasound, ITC brain scan, blood fast to see if it was the liver & pancreas! You never capsize Haigh Hall cousin tree & having all for Liverpool. Manchester has definitely got you red handed ...what you have caused for Wigan council & Haigh Hall cousin tree. Never put people under speculated brain damage again without investigations & you didn’t know how to avoid fits!! You should be prosecuted in Crown court uk. Mid wife’s walking away on home- birth without know a baby was feeding you will never live this down! Mid wife’s should never walk away from home- births if a baby doesn’t feed. To needing a feeding tube to stable the sugars. Think again when Manchester Royal pass the information to Wigan infirmary with open access to wards. A & E infirmary to monitor low sugars. Not allowing them to drop below 4. You never put satisfactory at 2.8 left a baby staving for 24 hours & needing a feeding tube. Without investigations & under speculation brain damage. Let me tell you, people have looked at all kinds of claims of Crimal injuries & other claims in the Uk. Were the injury’s had to be claimed 9 years ago. Age 18 or 21, left your reputation sinking for good. I am glad your hospital has shut down. Even though you should be at crown court uk. Serving your justice in jail! 💯

It’s been restored. It’s now a new house on the market for £44 million. The looks of the house makes me wish I had the money. 😂

Great video thank you.

Good selection of pics. Shame about the awful music though

Epic lol 👌👌

Sideways and 1/2 screen?

I worked there for a few years. Did you get chance to go into the sub basement? Miles and miles of green pipes....that I spray painted 😂

Started demolition 10 months ago currently demolition has been stopped due to price of steel dropping

My favourite mine FG. Like the video but it could have done with some music in the background..👍😀

I attended Holly Lodge Grammar School in the 1970s. The original building which was a manor house was still beautiful, it had a glorious stained glass window above the stairs on the landing in the main entrance. For me the most memorable part of attending the school was the extensive grounds, extensive playing fields, the lake, the bluebell wood, mature trees, grass and hard surface tennis courts as well as the beautifully kept gardens we walked through on our way from Sandheys (the first and second year building and another former country house) which had its own barn and out houses where the school guinea pigs and rabbits were kept. For a girl who came from the other side of town without much greenery, the school inspired in me a love of the natural world. In summer there was a view from the first floor biology lab window of fields and trees which stretched off into the distance it seemed to St Mary's church in the village and beyond. I was sad to hear that the main building, Holly Lodge, was considered not to have sufficient elements left of its history to deserve saving. What was not taken into the account is its place in the historical landscape especially when taken together with the other country houses and estates. The new school is said to meet the needs of pupils in the 21st century but I can't help but regret that they won't have those big open spaces, trees, flowers and wildlife that was such an antidote to the grey urban surroundings of my childhood.

Where is Scout Mine?

How do you get in???

Used to work at the older 'A' station which was demolished several years ago. This existing station (B) is now being stripped down inside, I'm not sure when demolition will take place though.

Cool. Do you know if its still there?

can you still get in?

Bloody masterpiece 👏🏻👏🏻

A great video. I have joined your channel. I use to work there. Please return the favour many thanks chris 😊

Love this! Great location we subscribed pop over and check out our explores

Do you know who I can contact to take photos/ film here?

Hey there! I'm a design student researching Rugeley power station, would you be available for an anonymous interview? You can email me on fulfilmentcentrerobot@gmail.com
