A few weeks back i got to visit this beautiful asylum now i know its done to death but i loved this place and this is my first thread on dp my favourite part about this asylum was the stairs here is some history on the place. The estate of Pool Park (spelled Parc in Welsh) began as a deer park for the nearby Ruthin Castle. Following its time as a hunting ground, the property was passed between a series of wealthy landowners. The elegant mock-Tudor style manor house that still stands today was constructed in 1862 for the second Lord Bagot.

In 1937, the house was sold to the North Wales Counties Mental Hospital, which was in need of a second location to house overflow patients from the nearby Denbigh Insane Asylum (the super haunted one with all the cages and lobotomies). Pool Park held 87 patients at capacity, but in times of need had as many as 120. For a brief stint of time during World War II, the grounds also held a prisoner of war camp.

Today, the solid wooden floors and intricate wood paneling have rotted due to water damage. The house has been looted for lead and copper, and its ceilings are dripping water and shedding plaster. You’ll be hard-pressed to find an intact window. However, a beautiful old staircase still remains, spilling down two flights of stairs into a grand entrance hall - a real pleasure, despite the debris. here are a few pictures hope you liked my first post here :) Pool Parc Asylum by kurt roberts, on Flickr

Congrats on your first post - really nice bud - been here myself and the staircase really is the main attraction inside but the upper floors are some of the worst i have seen - hope you did not venture to far up there really dangerous.
I think the stone work on the front entrance is beautiful.
