The building was designed by asylum architect Thomas Standen (1816) AV Kershaw (1882),
and opened in July 1816.
The site covers 47 hectares of land,
the buildings are a corridor plan with a central tower.
The roofs are slate and the walls are stone,
the building is grade 2 listed and closed December 1999.
The land is owned by the Homes and Communities Agency (HCA),
is part of a £67.8m deal to turn the building into flats with some new homes/houses on the surrounding land.
This was evident, with scaffolding and heavy equipment on site.

Aye very nice :) you do Know there are a few rooms under the hall ?, if my memory serves. After 3 visits here with my team mate who has a hardon for the place :lol::lol: i had enough we did look at the other big building but sadly occupied :)
 
Thanks for posting. A beautiful building. Warley Hospital (near me) was converted into luxury flats some years ago - although I must admit I don't fancy living in a converted lunatic asylum, no matter how 'luxury' they are! :unsure:
 
Well done on getting in there, this place has been tighter than a gnat's chuff for years!!!

Nah you just needed to Now the way in that's all, and how to keep it quite as they always seemd to get busted if you let it out or so my partner and me found
