The History
Saint Cadoc's Hospital is located in Caerloen on the northern outskirts of the city of Newport.
The hospital, which opened in 1906 as the Newport Borough Asylum, was built to accommodate up to 350 patients. Extensive outbuildings were later added on the site, but since 2005 the number of residents has been very small with the growing emphasis on care in the community.
St Cadoc's Hospital provides a number of mental health services, Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services, Adult Mental Health Services are provided by 11 Community Mental Health Teams and Elderly Mental Health Services provided by 5 multi-disciplinary Community Mental Health Teams.
The Explore
After seeing this crop up on here and spammed a little on Facebook, whilst in Wales with a non member checking out some other stuff we thought we would check this out too. We already had a bit of intel on how to get in but found this way well and truly locked up.
Bugger.
A different way in needed to be used so we had a good look around and eventually found an open door and walked in, only to be greeted by a nurse, oh bollocks we thought expecting to be kicked out. All she actually did was smile and say hello, result.
We found the place to be in very nice condition and very similar in interior design to Goodmayes in Ilford.
A lot of the original features where still in place including the “Facebook famous” operating chair.
After a few hours wandering around we left through the main admin door and headed off on our merry way.
Enjoy the pics
