History:
Pool Park was built as a manor house between 1826-29 for the second Lord Bagot. The house was sold to the Tate family (of Tate & Lyle) as a family home. In 1937 the house was sold again to the North Wales Counties Mental Hospital who developed the property into a hospital to relieve the overcrowded Denbigh Asylum. The hospital had accommodation for 87 patients. The hospital closed in 1990, shortly before the closure of its parent hospital.
The Visit:
Another day out, this time around the north of Wales. Visited with @David Hullton and a non member. Didn't venture too deep into this place as it is literally falling down in places, and it's full of bats.
I know it's been covered before, but couldn't find a very recent report.
