Fasintating film. I have always had interest in, since I used to walk past empty building in the 2000's for psychotherapy at a building further up. I always felt like people were watching me as I was going past. I went to look at one of the apartments when they were newly built to replace hospital & I just felt cold & yet we were in a heat wave at the time

The place is riddled with Ghost stories and exorcisms have had to be done on several of the new apartments. Fascinated by the site but Ivan not sure I could live there. Ty for watching and commenting. 👍😎

It is good to see this remarkable building remembered in such a humble manor. My father, Eric Edwards, worked there for a number of years and now I have finally got to see where he worked. Thank you

John does a superb commentary. Ace!!

Yes he does 😀

This was a great hospital,pity some of the staff was arrogant rubbish. I worked at this hospital in 1978-1982.
