Abandoned mental asylum.🟪🤫

The asylum, a project costing £350,000 and a decade to complete, began operations on April 15, 1908. The main structure, sprawling across 5 acres, was designed to house 750 patients in ten wards, divided equally between men and women. Echoing the self-sufficient design of many Victorian institutions, it featured a 150-foot (46 m) water tower above a powerhouse. This powerhouse originally contained two Belliss and Morcom steam-engine powered electric generator sets, which remained on standby until the mid-1980s. The site also included a farm that supplied food and provided therapeutic work for the patients.

During World War I, the asylum was repurposed as a military hospital. This conversion was repeated in World War II, where it became the largest emergency service hospital in South Wales, offering treatment to British, American, and German military personnel. A section of 200 beds was reserved for civilian use, allowing early intervention for military patients suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder. On July 5, 1948, the Ministry of Health assumed control of the hospital with the establishment of the National Health Service. Management was delegated to the Whitchurch and Ely Hospital Management Committee, which also oversaw Ely Hospital, another major psychiatric facility in Cardiff.

Following the introduction of Care in the Community in the early 1980s, the hospital experienced a downturn, leading to a decrease in the number of resident patients. In November 2010, the Cardiff and Vale University Health Board opted to consolidate all adult mental health care services at Llandough. Consequently, the hospital was shut down in April 2016 and has remained abandoned since then.

After months of fighting, the battle was won recently. To whoever was hacking into my page last year, and caused loads of unnecessary stuff,
screw you.

Late last year, Somebody had the cheek to claim ownership of this page and managed to convince Meta/Facebook that it belongs to them. They had messaged people, stole my credit card information, and other personal details etc and caused havoc.

Phone call after phone call, email after email, I recently got the green light that everything is back in my possession, and I am once again fully monetised.

People can be so cruel. What a victory though, phew.

Abandoned house full of old furniture and antiques.

Judging by what’s been left behind, this house has been empty since the mid to late 1990’s.

A married couple once lived here, and all of a sudden, they disappeared. I found wedding photographs, letters, vintage cosmetic products, vintage paintings, old furniture and an array of antiques. The man that resided here must’ve been a railway worker / engineer as the house was full of railway work manuals, work clothing, etc.

Enjoy the pictures everyone. Peace and love. 💜🤫

Tonight at 7pm, I will be posting all photos of this abandoned house. Stay tuned everyone. 🟪🤫
