Stanley Royd Hospital, Former Pauper Lunatic Asylum Wakefield

[@AssassinIsAfk]

My dad worked here, he still tells us stories of what it was like

[@naynay250]

The ward which your nan spoke about was Juniper - it was one of the ladies wards at the far end of the hospital - the side rooms on the ward were haunted there as well, there was one which was permanently cold and unpleasant to be in, it was used as a store room. The majority of wards had ghosts, you didn't go to certain parts of the hospital on your own when it was dark! Me and my mum probably worked with your grandma!

It's not the dead you need to worry about it's the living. Ghosts my arse

[@Tylerdiaz1998]

My Grandad was in there for years until his death in 1959. George Hector McNulty R.I.P.

I remeber Stanley Royd patients getting on the bus with their stripped towelling dressing gowns on outside the hospital I bet many of the wakefield bus drivers remember this because it happened often. NOW the metally ill live on our streets what a disgrace at least in there they were bathed fed and warm.

That footage from the 60's is brilliant 5* mate

Hi, is it possible to speak to you about using this for a news item about the 75th anniversary of the NHS? Thank you!

[@aceventura0015]

Do you still live in one of the apartments? I live in one as well, and I've only just come across this footage. Really fascinating to say the least.

Bad karma living in a place of suffering

[@taraelizabethdensley9475]

Just looking at the building gives me shivers

[@IvorGrumble]

What dreary places they were. If you weren't mental when you went in you soon were after a few weeks there.

[@FINDERSBEEPERS]

Paranormal Pastlife Investigations I thought this place was gone? We explored Clayton hospital last week but I was under the impression this was totally demolished

[@RixPixParaNation]

@@FINDERSBEEPERS part of it remains in amongst the new buildings but unreconisrable now, I need to get in Clayton hosp , Every time I've been , I see a security van there. Let me know if your going again please . 😁
