Whitchurch Hospital - Cardiff Asylum Documentary

Built 115 years, Whitchurch was once home to over 700 mentally ill patients and dozens of staff members who lived and worked onsite. Today the site is a crumbling wreck - we decided to see what remains at the former asylum as of 2023.

I lived across the road from this hospital, it’s a great shame it closed , it’s a part of everyone’s life that lived in whitchurch, it’s sad to see it decaying

This was really lovely mate. Thoroughly enjoyed it. Fantastic narration too, lovely videography and very informative ❤

I used to sometimes deliver medical supplies to here when I worked for NHS procurement based in the Heath Hospital. I remember having to leave goods outside the wards as it was too dangerous to be on the high security ward’s

Thanks for sharing your memories!

It must have been built around the same time as Severalls Hospital. The double hallways are identical. Good video ❤.

I live in the local area and can remember a time before the security was based on site and being able to go up the large water tower its a beautiful view can see across the Bristol channel on clear day, great video guys ❤

[@antonysibley4516]

Do you know how you can get in without being noticed ? Obviously security on the front of the building

I visited this place as a child in the 70s a lot of my family have been in and out of that place so many times, paranoid schizophrenia, cruel places to be, est 🙁

[@chrisplunkett2814]

Very well done as always guys!
What an amazing place though and actually very well designed and laid out.With all the covered walkways it looks like you could get from anywhere to anywhere else in the hospital without being exposed to the outside world and weather.Probably more to make it escape proof though? I was a patient at a Second World War built hospital some years ago and if they needed to get you from the ward to another building they'd put you on a fifty year old gurney and wheel you across the car park with a sort of mini canvas tent over you if it was raining.

How did you even get into this location? I’m local to here and would love to explore inside, respectfully

[@Leoooo12-j8l]

My house is visible from the video 😅 I live about 2 minutes away

Interesting to see how things changed since it was first built. Most of these old hospitals have been changed to residential flats and this will probably go this way or pulled down to build houses. so it is good to have your documentary to show these before this happens.

Like Warley hospital

[@user-rl7pp8dz6r]

Hey guys just a quick question how did you get in and not get spotted by security

[@BeyondthePoint]
