Pool Park Hospital (visited 05/2015)

[Andy]

Visited with The_Raw and MiaroDigital.

Pool Park House was built for the second Lord Bagot in 1826-29. In order to counteract the overcrowding of the Denbigh Asylum, the North Wales Counties Mental Hospital bought Pool Park House and opened there a home for mentally ill people in 1937, with rooms for 87 patients. The hospital was closed about 1990.

It's sad to see the present condition, compared with older photos. Much was destroyed and stolen, as ornaments on the staircase, ornate panels of wood and figures made of wood and stucco.

Funny how places open up and close again, we visited here a few months ago and it looked like the locals had literally just freshly boarded the place up as there was still sawdust on the floor. Good to see inside
