I can't believe this was posted almost a year ago and that it only has about two thousand likes? The way you are presenting your footage without any "creepy" (annoying) music and how you are so respectful not touching the old documents or not moving anything around is simply fantastic! You have earned another sub! I love this video! Thanks for sharing!
I was a patient in one of the last victorian style asylums in the UK shortly before it closed, back in 2006. It was eerie because they had been closing it down ward by ward. My ward was about one of two left. In its heyday it would have been absolutely sprawling. Miles and miles of corridors, vast land, a theatre, shops on site, hairdressers, a church etc. It was like a village.
I’m glad TH-cam is anonymous so can you share anything that you witnessed that raised eyebrows or patient abuse. I was in one (yea, I threatened to commit suicide (dumb thing considering I could have approached my situation in a more sane way). I never saw anything, but they gave me a drug (prescription) once. It knocked me out. The second time they told me to take I refused. I told them “hell no!” However the hospital staff don’t force it on me, they just said well it’s your right and choice.
Whenever I watch these abandoned videos, I always get a weird/funny feeling inside. ...I always think of the people who passed through these places, where are some of them now, who died there, and always think about how these hospitals etc used to be a bustling place and I always feel like they are memories that I have lived. It's really hard to explain the feeling and I'm high as hell right now
it's actually really sad as someone who's going to a mental hospital in a month here to see the past of neglected people who just really needed help in life like myself, but were mistreated and neglected. Thanks for covering this.
To be fair, when asylums first opened in the Victorian era, they weren't actually the cruel places they're painted out to be. Around this time psychology and psychiatry was only just taking off, and for the most part fresh air and taking up relaxing hobbies was found to be a cure for many cases; at the time there was a lot of 'hysteria' and 'melancholia' cases (anxiety and depression). Medication wasn't greatly evolved then, and doctors tried many new therapies with patients' best interests at heart. Things changed as asylums grew in popularity towards the end of the era into the start of the 1920s; too many patients, too little staff, and the development of medications. I hope I don't sound preachy. Hope things go well for you. ❤❤
@@thehangingparsiple5692 A good analysis on how asylums changed, that's the impression I've gotten from reading. I think we've overcomplicated mental health to some extent along the way.
Asylums were never more needed than now. So-called 'Care in the community' simply isn't working and dangerous people who cannot function in normal life are committing thousands of violent crimes and not being cared for properly. These places must never, never permit any cruelty, but like it or not they ARE vital for humanity to function and to ensure comprehensive care of the mentally ill.
Ah I get it, but every Tom Dick and Harry was locked up in one. Blimey I'd have been in one for epilepsy, and various mental illnesses that I have. But I also do agree with you, certain circumstances of course. But then is it really right to lock people up like that? The care in the community thing is great and all, IF it's carried out the right way. Sadly it's failed under successive governments.
You are so right look at the mess now care in the community just isn’t working and people are being neglected. There are still psychiatric facilities closing all over the country to very worrying.
I live not far from Powick Hospital, footage of which was used in this content. The hospital was controversial, not only because of the way long-term patients were ill-treated but also because of the use of LSD (hallucinogenic drug) on over 1000 patients in the early to mid 1960s. It was one of the first Victorian asylums to close in 1989.
You guys are the undoubted class leaders in this type of videography. The way you never force entry, never so much as disturb a document, even though you must be itching to find out more, and your superb commentary showing your fascination and sympathetic view of the buildings. The chequerboard corridors were a common feature of the asylums of that era. A girlfriend of mine did her psychiatric nurse training in Worcester in the early 80s, including at the notorious Powick Hospital featured in your video, and all the corridors were like that, with sedated and catatonic patients shuffling up and down to "elevator music" over the tannoy. Creepy! I'm not sure whether "care in the community" has been the success that Thatcher envisaged, and there does need to be more mental health provision in Britain, but these old places, with their outdated and often barbaric practices, were not the answer. Thanks guys!
As someone who has been in a mental health hospital before for my OCD I can’t imagine the horrendous treatment I would have received back then , the torture they put people through makes me sick
I was in one for writing a suicide note that I was going to carry out. My employer found it on my desk so they wanted to intervene. The one I went to for if I can remember for two weeks was a very popular one in my city that’s located in a busy but nice area.
@@tiffanymcintyre8375 never understood why any courts or police get involved. They act as if they own your life. If a person wants to end their life it’s not the business of the law to intervene. It’s a family matter that should involve counseling.
That place is cefyn coed my dad my my mum and my grandfather worked there for 25 years each they know a lot of history and I was brought up around that place in SWANSEA!!
Hi guys. Great explore. Old hospitals of any department are very interesting to see architecturally. Old buildings of any kind are interesting to see actually. Thanks for the video 😀
The "cells" at the beginning werealmost certainly bedrooms I would say. They can be locked from the inside, as well as being unlockable from the outside. The windows look to have a blind type mechanism which can be opened and closed from outside to allow staff to perform general observations without disturbing service users
There was one in bromsgrove worcestershire called Barnsley hall, I explored when I was a kid.. it’s been knocked down now and turned into houses.. but the main entrance and unmarked graves are still there.
Just subscribed, been enjoying your videos for a while and this was a really great explore. I've always been interested in this area of social history, I live near the sites of two former asylums in Birmingham (Hollymoor and Rubery Hill) so this made it even more fascinating for me. I like that you remembered the horrors and mistakes of the past as this should never be forgotten, thankfully things are a lot better these days as we are more educated and enlightened in mental health issues.
In leeds they don't have any spaces for mental health patients so there sending them to Scotland instead. It is really bad not enough money is given to the NHS to provide better care for people with mental illness. Shocking this day and age that we are forgotten about.
I've been in a mental ward. They are lively places for sure but for the most part the people in there are friendly and approachable but just have very complex psychiatric problems. I shared a bay room with 2 schizophrenics and they were both nice lads. Hope never to go back though. The windows on the cell doors remind me a lot of being in there, they all have those windows.
C'est encore plus terrible maintenant car les personnes au mental dérangé se trouvent souvent dans la rue sans soins et abandonnés de tous, au moins dans l'hôpital ils avaient un lit, des repas et des soins
I suffer from severe Social and General Anxiety aswell as having a Neurological problem. Back in the early days i probrably would have been committed because of my problems but thankfully not by todays standards.
Wow this is amazing! Why cannot they not make it a Mental Health / Wellness and Wellbeing support services or charity?! Such a shame those people ruined it. :( Is there a morgue? Thank you for sharing
Fabulous video as always. In the closing sequence, is that one of you flying a drone? I assume you must be to get the high altitude footage. Cheers, Mark.
We must never forget the victims of the old asylums and the barbaric treatment they underwent, these were lost souls wanting help yet treated like animals for sadistic means. A tragic representation of lunesy would be the fictional R.M.Renfield from Bram Stokers novel Dracula. God heartbreaking!
The thing is, you will always have terrible reports of treatment from ex patients, the reason being they were likely very sick and their view of everything seen with a darkened lens
The whole hospital isn't abandoned. There are still about 100 or so patients there who now complain about feeling unsafe because there's random people flying drones and recording them and creeping through the hospital when they might be going out for a walk.
Great video guys and an amazing set of buildings just going to waste. I am not a believer of ghosts, but its at time like this I wished there were and we could have a chat with them, although in this case it may be more of a nightmare conversation. Thanks as always lads.
it is so sad, alot of these people don't look like they're mentally ill, more like elderly sick people that need care because they're not able to care for themselves , and they just threw them in there as if they were mentally ill. so sad . the place is so interesting, just thinking of all those people that one day walked through those hallways . thanks for sharing. love watching
Yeah alot of the building in total looks like it could be refurbished and used again to bad for the vandalism not surprising they see its over unfortunately.
I've visited a friend in a mental hospital and a few of the nurses were absolutely as sick as some of the patients, they did some nasty things like hide the TV powercable , stole cigarettes from the patients, mocked patients, I called them out in front of my friend and couple of other patients for repeatedly hiding the TV power cable as I saw them do it one day I was there .
I need to find a group of friends in the USA who would be interested in doing this sort of exploration. I’m really interested in exploration of abandoned buildings especially Asylums.
Terrible shame they have let that building go to such a mess. We need mental health hospitals. More so now than years ago. Could you please tell me the date it was opened and closed if you have those details thanks.

Hi Alistar how are you doing? Great video you have uploaded again as always this place is an absolute tip it needs to be cleared out completely the outside I mean asylums and metal hospitals are nasty places to go to back in the olden times as people got abused too which meant the final nail in the wall was out and the places had to close hope your having a good day so far Alistar and keep up the amazing content as always 👍
@@Urbandoned Sorry, can't see anything on Springfield Mental Asylum anywhere? Just discovered you and subscribed though; amazing stuff!! Did you film Springfield and I'm just missing it?
i knew mental hospitals were absolute shit considering ive been to 5 different ones but i never thought about how CRUEL the staff actually were back then
I was in one for writing a suicide note that I was probably going to carry out. Mine was a nice place that also took patients in for drug and alcohol abuse. It’s still open in a very busy area (not secluded like some envision) and nice area. I never witnessed anything that was not ordinary. They did give me a drug (prescription) once that made me extremely tired. The next time they asked me to take it I told them “hell no!” They said okay.
The few always spoil it don't they. Makes me bloody angry. It was nice to see this as it was nigh on impenetrable when we tried about ten years back. The only other asylum I've seen like it was Severalls. Most of the rest were just a mass of wet rot like Whittingham. Great explore chaps!
They tried something called The Assertive outreach team it failed miserably, the so called nurses or what ever they were ment to be called was only with the patients about half an hour then that was it leaving the partners to continue to struggle on
The horror of the past we can not change but learn from and not repeat, but what horror would the patients of got at home a lot worse then been in the hospital the horror of today we can change but do we till its to late
I found this unpleasant to watch, but that doesn't mean I think it's a bad video. A close relative of mine spent time in such a place on and off for most of her life. I found visiting her; especially in the older asylum style hospitals such as this one really uncomfortable.
Many many normal people have been killed .. resulting from so called ( care in the community) the institutions are needed to facilitate their safety but more importantly the safety of society so that it can function properly.

With the shortage of housing for ASYLUM seekers coming from other countries what a grand idea to house them there !

They tried something called The Assertive outreach team it failed miserably, the so called nurses or what ever they were ment to be called was only with the patients about half an hour then that was it leaving the partners to continue to struggle on
WTF does that mean?
Thankyou

The chequered floor reminds me of Terminator 2
I found this unpleasant to watch, but that doesn't mean I think it's a bad video. A close relative of mine spent time in such a place on and off for most of her life. I found visiting her; especially in the older asylum style hospitals such as this one really uncomfortable.
Many many normal people have been killed .. resulting from so called ( care in the community) the institutions are needed to facilitate their safety but more importantly the safety of society so that it can function properly.
