Urban Exploring
a week ago i had my first go at urban exploring, a few friends and i darted out early morning and headed to a disused hospital in denbigh. The north wales Hospital closed in 1995 and has become run down and derelict since, the hospital is huge way bigger than i thought but such beautiful buildings that stands out and dominates the hill side. Amongst locals for many years the old Gothic institution has been referred to simply as 'Denbigh Mental'. A small stripped chapel lies to the back of the site behind the maintenance shops and boiler house which was added to the site in 1862. Various interesting and experimental treatments were tested and developed at Denbigh over the course of its history.
Time hasn’t been kind to the buildings and arson attack has pretty much sealed its fate as its way past repair and in today’s climate way too expensive to do anything with other than tear it down, it will be sad to see it go as its seems they have already started to take some parts down. it was great fun just walking around this huge empty building and taking a few snaps, now i just need to find my next little adventure.
