In the midst of the Brecon Beacons, the Mid Wales Hospital stands in isolation and suffering neglect, having been derelict for over a decade. The large psychiatric hospital closed in 2000 due to a combination of factors including changes to mental health care in England and Wales. Since then the owners have begun asset stripping the hospital, removing many of the slate tiles . Water ingress and nature has swiftly and inevitably followed, and the whole place has become a sad decaying mess.
And for those eagle eyed out there! These were shot before the sad demise of the clock face and workings.
Sad to see local heritage and history abused this way. I'm just glad I got the before shots
As with Denbigh, the hospital is located on the outskirts of the village and flanked by rolling Welsh hills. And the whole place takes on a slight pinkish tinge, which is so synonymous with welsh buildings.
It even had It's own Chapel.
And commissioned during the war.
Consumed to a life of slow decay.
And time for bed, fungus the bogeyman style
It will be a sad day when she bites the dust
