Lincoln asylum well what’s left of it.
The asylum was designed as the Lincolnshire county asylum, and opened in 1852.
It became Bracebridge pauper asylum in 1898 and Bracebridge mental hospital in 1919.
It served as an emergency hospital during the second world war and, having been renamed Bracebridge heath hospital in 1939, it joined the national health service in 1948.
It went on to become St John's hospital, Bracebridge heath in 1961.

The hospital closed in December 1989 and the site has been sold to a property developer who has built 183 homes and apartments.
The original hospital buildings are classified as Grade II listed buildings.
There is only a slight bit left, we got to the top of one of the towers and got a nice view of the site, we also got spotted by secuirty and his dogs even though there isn’t much left the atmosphere in this place is insane, to think of what went on inside the walls of this asylum.
People that weren't mentally ill were placed inside because back then patients who suffered from epilepsy, strokes and many other health problems, hospital staff didn’t now how to treat those problems back then.
There is a video from when we visited a while ago check it out.

Talacre arms.
It shut around 2018/19 and has remained shut since. The owners tried to get it demolished, but the Concil refused it because the area it’s in. Then, in 2023, there were plans for the place to be turned into apartments Don’t really explore many pubs as there are all very similar . There were a few cool bits inside, quite messy, so it was hard to take photos.
I'm not sure who owns it, but it’s like they have giving up with the place

Mental health hospital/prison.
It looks like it closed down about 2016.
There are various buildings on the site, most of them are locked off, we managed to get in some parts of the prison including the court yard and some of the main buildings. There were a few cells that were padded and even had a little room so they could be watched 24/7, there was very little info online about this place the site is being sold off in sections.

St Ives nursing home is a grade 2 property and was shut down in 2016, after the care company went into administration. If you watch the video we did in this place, you will see various leaks throughout the building. Apparently, from reports online, it was like this when it was open. I’ve added a video in the comments below.

West Yorkshire Police Station.
It opened in 1983, I’m sure a few people on here would have been in there at some point.

The custody suite closed in 2011, and you would have been transported to another police station.
West Yorkshire Police shut the station in 2020 and put it up for sale. There are now plans to demolish the site and build over 100 homes.
There is a short video below in the comments.

The Winter Gardens in Great Yarmouth is a Grade II* listed building at risk.

It was built of glass and iron in Torquay over 3 years, starting 1878. It was moved to Great Yarmouth in 1904 by barge and rebuilt. It reopened in 1906.

It functioned as a pleasure palace designed to extend the tourism season by offering a fun venue for leisure entertainment.

In 2018, it was named among the top ten endangered buildings of the Victorian and Edwardian eras in a survey released by the Victorian Society.

In 2021, Winter Gardens was one of five transformational heritage projects across the country to be awarded a Heritage Horizon Award from the National Lottery Heritage Fund.

Many people will have happy memories here it’s a shame the only thing to happen here is the scaffolding has been put up to keep the building up. There is a short video in the comments.

Down a long driveway there is this tiny house. We didn’t expect it to be as small as it was. Im unsure of the year it was left, but it’s definitely been ransacked by thieves and smashed up by vandals. However, the stuff we did find in the house was quite interesting. I hope you enjoy the photos.

North Staffordshire Royal Infirmary.

The Dispensary which was the first public hospital in North Staffordshire opened in April 1804. Funded by the Wedgewood family, it gave sick patients the chance to see an Apothecary for diagnosis and treatment. It also provided vaccination against the dreaded smallpox.

In 2003 the hospital was chosen for a £350 million Private Finance Initiative development, and work on major new facilities was started. Most of the wards and Accident & Emergency department were moved from the Royal Infirmary site across to the new site over the course of 2012.

April 2012 all A&E departments were on the new site, together with new Maternity and Oncology units.
In December 2012 the hospital was fully closed.
The former site will be renovated over the course of the next few years and some of the original buildings will remain.

Paul who purchased 10 aces of woodland in the early 1970's.
It took 2 years to build from donations or stone he had acquired, Paul built this in his spare time and by hand.
The shrine opened around 1980's, there is a plaque above the altar in the chapel it was dedicated to Pauls wife who died in the late 1990's.
It’s possible the smallest chapel in the uk, it’s hidden in the vast woods in a slight state of decay, hopefully one day someone will save it.

The town courts that were built in the early 1900's and has served the town for more then a 100 years. The older building is grade listed, at some point there was a new section added to make the courts bigger the newer section isn’t listed. The building was sold for over half a million and is rented out to smaller businesses. This is possibly the best courts I’ve been able to document, just goes to show how good the craftsmanship was back in those days. The company that own it have looked after it and hopefully the building will live on for many years.
