Mockingbird visits Pool Parc with Cunningplan

So another location of the Wales tour consisted of pool parc! I personally did not fancy denbigh all that much, an cunningplan had not been to pool parc, so we decided to head here, not much of interest to me personally only the stairs, so im sure cunningplan will add a tonne of other shots of the place, I guess once you've seen one asylum room you have kinda seen them all, well to me anyway dont think anything beats severalls so maybe I had high standards compared or im just lacking interest.

Some history below

Originally owned by Sir Walter Bagot, the current buildings were rebuilt in the late 1820′s. It was acquired by the North Wales Counties Mental Hospital and opened in 1937 to accommodate 80+ patients to relieve the overcrowding at the much larger Denbigh Asylum. It eventually closed in 1990 and has laid derelict ever since

Here is my un inspired effort of the place :)

Over to cunningplan to blow my shots out the water!
 
Have to agree, excellent photos. It looks a good sized building, I would probably have ended up taking about 6oo pictures in here. (And then tried to post them all) :goofy:
 
The one i had been waiting for!! Awesome. I love the staircase shots and the spooky corridors and the empty rooms! A must see for me
 
I really don't know how I'm going to top that??? some great photos as normal and very different to mine.
I've wanted to take a look around here for ages and was told it was more or less no go, so we put it on the list and if we could not get in go straight to Denbigh.
From the time we got there the place did not disappoint with the weird sky above which looked like it had eyes and ghosts in the clouds. We made our way to the entry point and I was in, I went and found a easier entry for the rest of them. The place is meant to be haunted, while it don't bother me a bat made me jump while walking into one of the rooms.
The place is very dark and other than the stairs (We could not find the cellar) there is not much in there.
