Report - Bron y Garth Hospital, Penrhyndeudraeth, April 2016

[paulpowers]

I wasn't happy with my pictures from here on my last visit so I was happy to be heading back to the area

This Victorian block was added to the main complex of the former Ffestiniog Union Workhouse

The vagrants' ward accommodation included six combined sleeping/work cells where inmates slept on wire metal beds without a mattress. The work cells were used for stone-breaking and had metal grids at the outside through which broken stone was passed when its pieces were of a small enough diameter.

And a short video

Wow that place looks more like a old prison than a hospital very bizarre and quite unusual. I really liked your photos had a very spooky feel. I watched your video and it was ok but my only negative was if your not going to talk over what your seeing - put a peice of music on top as its better than listening to old motors that sound like there just about to spew the guts lol.
Just as a example if you had put mike oldfields - tublar bells soundtrack on top - i think your video would have improved by ten times.
thanks for sharing i did enjoy it bar the whirring motors.

If this where i think it is, very nice work. i always thought there was a morgue in their…did you do the main part too.

Atmospheric!

Cheers everyone, it's a decent place and well worth a visit

put a peice of music on top as its better than listening to old motors that sound like there just about to spew the guts lol.

I would normally put music on but it's only 3 minutes so what I've done is put the last thing I was listening to over the top

Bring me the horizon? Weak.

Get some Converge on there, man.

 

[paulpowers]

It was three minutes long so it was either that or Bloodhound Gang and kiss me where it smells funny

Lovely photos. I 've driven past this place many times and not had any luck.. can't believe that's out back.

Very nice indeed.

Hopefully the main bit will become accessible at some point soon as well

There's a way in but the place is alarmed

 

[ZerO81]

There's a way in but the place is alarmed

That's what I mean, we need someone to get a bit forgetful with the alarm setting

 

[paulpowers]

I can't see it having power for much longer, looking through the windows and there's still loads of stuff inside

 

[tumbles]

Yeah that alarm and the building opposite wouldn't be a fun combo!
