Brilliant video, welcome back boys!! History time: During the 19th century, Lancaster Moor Hospital (formerly known as The County Lunatic Asylum), became a provincial centre for the treatment of mental illness. In 1809 it was decided that the proposed County Lunatic Asylum would be built in Lancaster. Additional buildings were added in 1907, 1909, 1912, 1916 and 1938, these buildings were built to mainly accommodate private patients. Ridge Lea finally closed in 2016. It was a 17-bed acute mental health inpatient admission ward. They provided care and treatment for up to 10 male patients and 7 female patients whose bedroom areas area separated on one corridor. Patients are provided with their own bedroom area and some of the female bedrooms have en-suite facilities. The hospital also has a seclusion facility/extra care suite. This was all I could find, unfortunately, but it looks like such an interesting place. Also, if anyone tries to tell me not to share the name, it's all over the internet currently. All I ask is, if you do visit, do not go and vandalise or break anything else.
I always wonder why people attach such a sense of fear to mental asylums. I've been a patient in one before, and it's literally the most mundane thing ever lol. They just put you up in a room and monitor you, feed you, look after you etc. until you're on a more even keel and are ready to leave. They're not scary, in fact, the one I was in was one of the most caring places I've ever been. The staff were all incredibly dedicated, patient and supportive. I see them more as a place that was full of people who wanted to help make others better when they were suffering. Sure, 100 years ago they were quite different, but modern mental health care, even in-patient facilities are nothing to be scared of.
Hope things have been good for ya. Agreed Yella, thou there are some medieval hellish on earth shite up to the 1970s here in Massachusetts. A place or 2 in Canada/US had some CIA/LSD "tests" in the 1960s. The workers/nurses of today are angels on earth, absolutely. Respect for sharing Yella Dart
Hi Dart! I applaud your courage. I can not even take the initial step to call for help. Yet now, after reading what you wrote plus the sincere comments... perhaps now. 🐈
I lived next door to a place like this that was a 'hospital'. It was actually a catagory A prison due to the individuals that lived there. There were 2 outside areas next to each other, similar to what was here, that were 'cooling tanks' for the wild patients. I could look out my rooftop window and could see them going mad, pacing, screaming at all hours of the night, it was fucking savage. The 'rehab' bit that had the shower and monitoring room is for transfering patients that had become unmanagable for that facility, to be moved to another, more secure unit. (The house I lived in was rented from the hospital next door, and I got to know a few of the staff members... Wierd Shit...)
So glad i came across this video while binging your back catalogue.. this is where my uncle was during the 50s. My mum, his sister , told me how they used to travel from manchester to see him there and spend time in the grounds with him. He was born with a mental disability and he never progressed to a mental age of more than 11. He later went on to live in the community with his mum , my nanna and live into his 70s.
I love your videos, you guys just love life and what you do, you always put a smile on our faces and what’s wrong with having fun, UA-cam has got to serious but I am jealous off where you go and the fun you have
Mundane trivia: the reason the fence cranks the way it does and the reason the bolts are how they are is to eliminate liagture points which would provide those who want to unalive themselves somewhere to tie something to hang so all those points need to be on the outside to prevent access by those using the exercise area

Came across your channel tonight and I'm now well & truly hooked! The banter between you three is the best! 👍 I'm howling 😂😂😂 Get to Harrogate, plenty of buildings for you to explore! ✌
This shows that a place is only as scary as you make it!....If they went during the night it would be super spooky!!!!....These guys are smart enough to go during the day.......I don't think it would be as fun and games at night!!!!!!
Hi HoE! Only 7'35" in yet all I can think of is "gawd, is he [Norton] going to stroke his face again(!) after handling that bird?". Innuendos there, eh? Thanks for this vid guys... timing is spot-on (like the bird feces on John's left cheek..... innuendos!). Texas liberal cyber hugggggs to y'all! 🐈
Not surprised Al has trust issues! P.s Nice to see you guys back with your usual DUE diligence (Disorderly Urbex Exploring) to your surroundings shows. Keep it up
As.long as it isn't an abandoned TB Sanatorium. You really could have issues. Just don't touch the slides with tissue preserved in the morgue... Lol.. Actually no joke don't mess with those places. I explored an abandoned hospital that had brain slices preserved and whole organs preserved in jars .. that was in 2015. And the place had been abandoned since the late 1950's at that time. The place was St Ames Sanatorium in St Lo France. I can say that now that what's left of it was torn down in 2018. It's now a new housing Estate. But people don't stay there long. I'm guessing the bad energy the whole place had stuck around. This place reminds my so much of St Ames. The front of the building was almost identical. Probably about the same age. Lots of interesting stuff left in this place. Makes it so exciting. Be careful of the old lead paint on the walls. I'd be worried with all that peeling paint. That "kitchen" looks like a medicine prep room . Done alot if explorers in UK and Europe. Some in the. UK. Would like to explore this one. It looks fantastic for its age. And time abandoned. Thanks for this video. Chriss
Pirate Bay? I thought that got closed down. Saying that even if it's still usable I probably struggle as my head is frazzled. I've been to the odd mental health hospital, in fact that was the last time I probably used pirate bay.
Did anyone clock the Ghostly figure👻 behind the glass at 20:57 ish?😱.. Respect guys! for the cool entertainment😁, wish I could go to all the places you guys visit!😏 Your videos really cheer up my day n make me laugh!🤣🤣🤣😜Take care Bro's! 😉 ✌ 🤘🇬🇧
The room with the bed is a segregation room, and the staff only rooms with the windows is were they observe them and pass food etc the beds and toilet are made to be safe so they can't be used for self harm

2:53 I think I saw a dark shadow! Anyone else see it? Love that you guys are back!
Where about?
In the background, the glass window, there is the reflection of tree branches. I missed it otherwise. 🐈
I didn't know I missed you until you where gone
I saw a dead bird stuck on a wall near an door way,late in the 'explore'.
Pirate Bay? I thought that got closed down. Saying that even if it's still usable I probably struggle as my head is frazzled. I've been to the odd mental health hospital, in fact that was the last time I probably used pirate bay.
You forgot "found human bones" or "found satanic rituals" in the title to make it a typical urbex video :D
There's a BODY in the WALL!!!
