Denbigh
Denbigh Hospital, or North Wales Counties Lunatic Asylum, was opened in 1848. It would care for patients from the five northern Welsh Counties. Flint, Denbigh, Merioneth, Caenarvon and Anglesea. Closed in 1995, and has been neglected and is in a poor condition whilst a decision is made on its future. When first visited in April 2007, majority of the aslyum was well secured, helping to protect it.
Although there was the obvious decay that you would expect from a building that had been left for ten years, vandalism was minimal and scrap thieves hadnt yet ripped apart the buildings to make a bit of money. Floors were becoming a little soft with damp and leaking water, but were still safe to walk on. Since returning, in only a gap of four months, boarding is ripped off most of the hospital, there were kids running around inside smashing windows, pulling off sinks, and generally being as destructive as possible.
Thieves had been, as the lead flashing that kept the roof's water tight has all been stolen. Causing leaks and water damage everywhere, this is majorly affected the floors around the tower, which are collapsing and unsafe to walk on.
