10 former psychiatric hospital that closed in the England creepy


Many modern mental hospital that replaced the old Act the asylum - was closed in the late 20th century after the British policy of eliminating isolate people suffering from mental illness in secure institutions.characterized by a transition in the Community Care Act 1980.We have taken an expedition to show you ten mental hospitals have closed in the UK. This is really interesting.

Whittingham Asylum



Built in 1869 from designs Henry Littler, in 1939 and 3533 appendix main building occupied by 548 Patients and staff. With the ranch itself, telephone exchanges, post offices, dams, gas works, orchestral, brass band, butchers and breweries - plus a train station - a paragon of independent Whittingham asylum. It also pioneered the use of EEG, recording of brain electrical activity.
The military took over the mental hospital during World War I and II, before large institutions like Whittingham fell out of order with the Mental Health Act 1960. Allegations of mistreatment of patients at Whittingham also cause a general investigation and the staff were fired. Patients were given the new therapy and moved during the '70s and '80s, and the hospital was at last closed in 1995. Since then, this large site has been abandoned and damaged in a bad state, one section has been flattened, and plans are underway for redevelopment.

Hellingly Asylum



If the mental hospital that the leave is seen as a scary place, then names like Hellingly Asylum is not much different. On top of the hill that overlooks the East Sussex countryside are the remains of the asylum besar.Dibangun by GT Hine, one of the architects of his time respectable asylum, Hellingly opened its doors in 1903, and is a prime example of 'good isolation', even have own trams and trains.
Until recently Hellingly maintain a sense of isolation but unfortunately is currently being destroyed by contractors, ready to be razed to the ground. Most of the buildings Hellingly closed in 1994, after it grew more and no terururs and destroyed by insurgent attacks, especially burning.
Denbigh Asylum


Denbigh Asylum in North Wales offers grandeur, even frightening outside world with glory, but inside it looks rot. Built between 1846 and 1848 from plans drawn by Thomas Fulljames, this pioneering example of early Victorian asylum architecture built because of dire conditions faced by Welsh people with mental health problems. Denbigh initially only accommodate 200 patients, but to reduce the population density is then expanded, reaching a peak capacity of 1500 in 1956.
Denbigh finally closed in 1995, and the floor was surrounded by roots of both trees, the land was originally donated by local landowners - are left to ruin. Human destruction played a major role in the death of Denbigh, with looted and destroyed the engine room to pieces. Meanwhile, the damage by nature also played a role, so that the floor had been destroyed even harder to pass. Ironically, the most intact part of Denbigh is the morgue.
St Mary’s Asylum



Fragile but not yet destroyed, St. Mary's Asylum in Northumberland is located in an isolated location, but with several access routes to the chapel, home inspectors and the main entrance. Arrow compact plan is the work of GT Hine, and did not differ the same architect who designed for Hellingly. Opened in 1914, St. Mary's were immediately confiscated during World War I, then, after modification of the isolation hospital to establish a sanitarium for tuberculosis patients, re-use during World War II.
Although various proposals for rebuilding St. Mary's, 2nd floor of the building still looks in very good condition, probably due to a remote location, although the boiler house chimney had collapsed due to structural failure and lodges emergency medical destroyed before closing the hospital in 1995. Most of the equipment has now been taken from the inside, but not all, still left some.

West Park Asylum



West Park Asylum accommodate up to 2,000 patients a mixture of classroom and much needed to be large, with large kitchen and spacious houses and boiler plant room. But in the mid 90s abandoned hospital and in 2003 was closed. Some outside still remains in use, but now West Park was abandoned, an impressive building slowly experiencing destruction. Interestingly, the explorers said the city seemed to see the patient there, because the goods are still scattered around the room, hospital equipment such as beds and other equipment, even a cell that is cushioned.

High Royds Asylum



Opened in 1888 as West Riding Pauper Lunatic Asylum, designed by J. High Royds Vickers-Edwards and arguably the best example of building a large layout. like Hellingly Asylum and West Park, High Royds Asylum also has a library, surgery, butchers, dairy, tailoring, sweets shop, the baker and cobbler - and also its own railway system - and at one stage can house up to 1300 patients. Today still feels the power of High Royds' past votes patients still often present, although in fact have died.

Severalls Asylum



Though certainly not the only one, is a psychiatrist Severalls mental hospital where free to experiment on the treatment of patients using now considered inhumane - such as electro-therapy seizures and frontal lobotomy - before the reforms introduced in the '60s. Today, the buildings have suffered vandalism and fire attacks, which affect forfeiting the main hall in 2007, but people are still interested in the remains of Severalls' past - including the rest of the medical equipment and the body contains a mortuary refrigerator
Deva Asylum




In the field that still-to-use Countess of Chester Hospital is a jewel left on Asylum Deva. Opened in 1829, was originally designed by William Cole Jr. to house up to 500 patients, but over the years expanded with new attachments until they could hold more than 1,500. Mental hospital finally closed in 2005 and since then has been vacant and others affected by the forces of nature. Yet despite this, some parts look as though they were still in use - if it is you ignore the log of patients discharged ..
Although completely abandoned, beautiful Deva preserved. Certain parts even said to have power and running water, while the narrow space, laboratory and pharmacy are in good condition. Other important features include the legendary danger room painted as a work of art a few years ago, a high-security isolation cell, and the dentist's chair intact stored deep inside a tunnel.
Long decay naturally present in the corridors and stone tiles Spiral Staircase, but Deva Also has quality untouched.

St John’s Asylum



Opened in 1852 based on a design by John R. Hamilton, the hospital was originally built for 250 prisoners, but then zoomed in on. Early occupants are sometimes referred to as 'visitors', although they are in order to grow vegetables in the garden and dispose of waste properly, they too would be targeted prisoners tortured or whatever it's called.
St. John's closed in 1989 and purchased by a developer who has converted half, but the main asylum buildings is the second floor and can not be destroyed. Interior, however, is more than a holding cell. Almost every room is empty there is nothing right, although the Y-shaped staircase that looks interesting, as well as cells that lined a very narrow long, barren hallway. St. John's previous basis is their own graves, together with the chapel and morgue, but now no more, already on the move.

Cane Hill Asylum



Unlike the others, Cane Hill Asylum has a chapel and tower water, Cane Hill Asylum in Croydon, Greater London now lies completely flat. However, there are times when the boiler house, mortuary and tunnel - all arranged in hectares of lush forest - which is legendary for those interested in leaving the places in England. Arson attacks coupled with structural damage from the elements take a heavy toll, and demolition began in July 2001 - a sad decline for the hospital which opened in 1883 was placed at the peak of 2,000 patients.
Cane Hill main building designed by Charles Henry Howell and hospitals given the Latin motto that translates: "I bring relief to the troubled mind '. Is it not or not, the day of Cane Hill was held as an example for the treatment of patients with mental illness. Victoria impose this asylum
remained largely untouched Until the '60s the Health Minister Enoch Powell Called for the closure of Mental Hospitals. In 1991, he has closed all but the unit is safe and highly under-utilized by the time it closed in 2008.
