Adventure Inside Denbigh Asylum: Forgotten Hospital Revealed

This is our adventure into the former grand buildings of Denbigh Asylum. We wanted to document the progress made since the sad departure of Elwyn the protector and the purchase of the entire site by Denbighshire council. The work that has taken place will hopefully save Denbigh.
The North Wales Hospital is a Grade II* listed building in Denbigh, North Wales. Designed by architect Thomas Fulljames, building started in 1844 and completed in 1848. Originally known as Denbigh Asylum.
Initially a hospital for up to 200 people with psychiatric illness, by the mid-20th century it housed 1,500 patients.
Care in the community roll out in the 1980’s saw The institution wound down as a healthcare facility from 1991, finally closing in 1995.
The site was sold by NHS estates in 1999 for £155000.
There was much damage caused to the structure and its contents in the years after closure. A local man Elwyn Pierce who often claimed to be employed by the owners and then claiming otherwise was the sole protector of the site and it is likely that the remaining structures would be in a much worse state if it was not for his endeavours. Elwyn died on 17th June 2022.
Due to the inaction by the owners, the site was compulsorily purchased by Denbighshire Council in 2018 and plans were announced late that year for its redevelopment as housing.
Hit with the financial burden of restoring the site, only structural and essential work has been carried out to date to try and save the main buildings.
