2013:
Was in a sorry state in 2011, can't be any good now
2010:
So, another holiday in Wales with the girlfreind. Finally now got enough to take a few photos, so this is a mix of July and September 2010. Boy had this place gone down hill in two months .
Place shut in 1999, and served Mid Wales as a lunatic asylum, opened in 1904 and previously named the Brecon and Radnor Joint Asylum, it would house 1,000 paitents, but by 1995 it had fallen to 168.
Excuse the photos! I was using a broken tripod on both trips.
I also epically failed by avoiding Denbigh, despite being just down the road, the recent altercations with Beardy, and the fact my girlfreind is visually impaired and Denbigh is ropey put me off. What a fail....
Very relaxed locals, place is still open and there is activity in the one remaining building which houses an altzheimers reasearch facility. Place is still wide open and has been trashed, slates have been removed to allow rot to set, and CCTV was installed in 2008, but not for the security of the building, but for the Liverpudlian owner to spy on his wife and brother who he co owned the site with.
Onto the pics now; excuse the volume. It is a good colleration though, between July and September.
