Just outside the city of Sheffield was a psychiatric hospital named The South Yorkshire Asylum, which was built in 1869 and opened in 1872, and was designed by architect Bernard Hartley. Its name was changed quite often (West Riding Asylum from 1890, West Riding Mental Hospital from 1930, Middlewood Hospital from 1948), and reported 1,189 patients living on campus in 1975.

Most of the hospital has been demolished or renovated into Wadsley Park Village, a residential community. The church was sold off but after failed planning attempts it remains empty. The church was used briefly in a TV show called "The Last Train".”

History shamelessly stolen from Opacity.​

Thanks

Very nice!!

We have visited before a few years back and was sad to see it was converted, however it does save most of the buildings on a hospital site. The chapel was locked up very well, so was nice to see some photos from inside.

My friend used to live in one of the renovated apartments at Middlewood - very slightly jealous!! My mum remembers visting a friend's mum who had been committed to Middlewood (probably going back to the 70's now), she used to tell me about the staircase that was there in the main building (I think?!?). She used to tell me about the netting they had inbetween the floors and that it was a really eerie place to visit, not very pleasant!
 
Looks good

I enjoyed watching 'the Last Train'; a good UK post apocalyptic series
The station that was used to depict Sheffield station was actually Manchester Mayfield
