This took time to organise and imperilment and at the end of the day well worth all the stealth like activity and just what is it with me and the underground and pigen shit?

You all will or should know about this place..

High Royds, Psychiatric Hospital

Opened on the 8th October 1888, the West Riding Pauper Lunatic Asylum as it was then known, became High Royds in 1963. One of the last remaining psychiatric hospitals of it’s kind to be still functioning when it closed in 2003.

A truly magnificent example of Vickers Edwards architecture, it is arguably the finest example of the broad arrow layout. At one time the site included a library, surgery, dispensary, ballroom, butchers, dairies, bakers and even it’s own railway. By the 1930s a sweetshop, cobblers, upholsterer and tailor were added making it in effect a self contained village.

Thanks to www.highroydshospital.co.uk/ for making this happen, for introducing us to former inmates, and staff for your hospitality information and now i find myself involved in the fight to keep alive the ghost of this place it was epic and it angered me deeply (as you will see from the coming film) and for good reasons there are images not yet published, as we all desire to leave nothing but footprints, take nothing but images.

I was a former inmate of Middlewood in Sheffield, 1987 for one year, my crime a drug addiction nothing more, and what i herd from inmates and staff of High Royds, Psychiatric Hospital, brought back to me the ghost of my past, and it will take time for me to come down and calm down, but at the end of it all one is glad i pushed myself as the crimes of these places need to be documented and exposed, i can not thank silverstealth enough for his work and commitment to getting story’s like mine and others out there.

Here are the rest of my images from a mammoth day, thanks also to Dan for driving us there, Recka our archeologist, G our free base climber, Monkey Boy our political thinker and adviser and to myself for getting this organised.


You need sandals on mate well documented by others and a nod to a fool in a vid, what a fucking place and it once was meadows no doubt.. Yes one of us was in sandals (not me) past reports and thanks to silverstealth..
