Cheadle Royal Hospital, formerly known as the Manchester Royal Lunatic Asylum, was a psychiatric hospital built in 1848 – 1849. As of 2010, the majority of the original site became part of the Priory Group, which offers comprehensive inpatient mental health services. One building, known locally as ‘South House’ has been left abandoned.
We decided to visit somewhere local to us for our first proper explore. Unusually, there isn’t a great deal of fencing around the building and it was very easy to gain access.
The place is pretty wrecked now, I wouldn’t recommend going at night as the flooring in areas is pretty dodgy. But I did have a go at taking a few photos
