hi Stallington Hospital was a former asylum for the mentally insane, it was operational in the days when the Mental Health Act was unreformed, there are some very sad stories associated with it such as children being incarcarated as young as 4 for the rest of their lives. The hospital has long closed and houses have been built on much of the site. The main building still exists though, although somewhat delapidated. Me and my hubby visited a couple of years ago. There is a sad air about the place, although we did not see anything, the building itself looks like it has come straight from Hammer House set! Very spooky indeed, worth a look, Mel |

When you and your hubby visited, did you by chance take
any pictures of the building and the area? |

Great photos Mel, thanks for putting up the link.
Sad to see a building like this go to waste.
Would have liked to see it in its glory days.
(Strictly speaking of the architecture)

D B Sweeney, said - Quite right. If some people are comfortable believing that ghosts, god, ufo's and the Loch Ness monster really exist then that's their right.
and some even believe in bigfoot
