great barr hall / mental hospital

voice over by WinnieWitch / @mswinniewitch
Great Barr Hall is an 18th-century mansion situated at Pheasey, Walsall, on the border with Great Barr, Birmingham, West Midlands, England. It has associations with the Lunar Society and is a Grade II* listed building. It is, however, in a very poor state of repair and is on the Buildings at Risk Register
This site will cover the history of the site from the original Netherhouse, through its use as a hospital to the redevelopment for housing and the plans for the Great Barr Hall and parkland.
Situated inside the Walsall boundary with Birmingham and West Bromwich Great Barr Hall is a Grade II* listed 18th century mansion. It has a long association with the Scott family, Lords of the manor of Great Barr. Following the death of Lady Scott in 1909 the estate was purchased by West Bromwich Poor Law Guardians. Since the closure of the hospital the Hall and its estate have fallen into disrepair. After many years of arguments approval was given for houses to be developed on part of the estate. The Hall and its grounds went through a number of owners and at last there are moves to do something positive.

I used to live in the area and used much of the grounds as a playground when I was growing up in 1960's and fished the lakes in the 70's and 80's. My understanding was that the estate was gifted to the NHS to use as a mental hospital FOC as long as the hall itself was looked after.?????????????????????????. They made a really good job of it didnt they! Again as far as I know and not sure when this video was taken it (The hall or whats left of it) now belongs to a consortium of Asian businessmen

[@Neo-luke]

It was filmed 2yrs ago and not been back since as I'm down south its a shame its just been left

[@fishypie]

[@Neo-luke]

😆no sorry fishy 🐟

[@burtonfootballer5408]

Same as its always been. Go and fish but be prepared to have to move

Hi Luke

[@sams9744]

Isn't it illegal and trespassing to be there? And who's doing the voiceover? It doesn't sound like a male voice, does it? Leave the place alone! Have you nothing else to do and nowhere else to go??? Nuisance!

[@Neo-luke]

Been that long since been up north I forgot i done it lol and it's all in the descriptions

[@burtonfootballer5408]

You must be one of the syndicate members that now own it then??
