  • I've actually explored this mental asylum 2 years ago and thought i would return to see how much has changed, a lot of decay in here now, so we spent hours in there photographing the rooms. Was a tough entry and exit, i actually twisted my knee on the way in and my friend cracked a rib on the way out lol

    Who would have thought such a terrible place would be so beautiful inside. People were locked in just because they were ill. You were locked away just for having epilepsy, dementia, post natal depression or learning difficulties. My mum's sister in law was locked away for being depressed after a miscarriage, she, like most of the others, just needed extra help and support in her sadness, not branded a "lunatic or an idiot" which was actually written on your records !!
    Thank goodness times have changed and people are given carers, support workers and counselling to help them live in the community, rather than hidden away from society and locked up often for their whole life !!
    Thanks Alec, great video.

    What a massive place. The rotunda with the wrought iron grille work was quite something, in the older part of the building. I can't imagine how awful it was to have lived in such a place though, scary.

    Whether it be Scotland, U.K. America or Australia. Alot of these Mental Asylum's probably housed more
    aged people with Dimentia who in the early days were considered Mental ? these poor souls are now
    looked after alot better in N/Homes, by our Governments. ( A good explore thankyou )
    Though families do need to check constantly on loved ones. Don't just drop them off & forget.

    Jeeezus, the way in!!!! There's no stopping you. This place is just ENORMOUS! Oddly enough it didn't come across sad and depressing, considering what it was when up and running. The decay is upsetting 😞
    I was hoping you could find a doorway out at the end. Sorry to read about the knee and ribs!!! All in the name of Exploration. Thanks for this one 👍😁

    Thank you, brilliant 1930's Art Deco fireplace @40:33 it's shameful that this place has been left to rot for any period of time.. @16:30 clear and from the left with headfones on, 'w4nker'...there are loads but like @38:16 'wassup', it could be the cameraman himself, whereas calling out certain swear words is just unlikely lol.

    Think it would be a good idea to have a rope, that way any time like this you can lower the rope and the bags onto lift it out, would be much safer. It doesn't have to be a heavy rope, paracord would work, strong and don't take up much room.
