Amazing place,

A really hard explore.

Northumberland County Pauper Lunatic Asylum was opened with six males and six females from Bensham Asylum in Gateshead. The asylum was built at a cost of £58,000 to house 200 patients.

The hospital was closed in 1959 after 100 years of service and a 1000 patient increse.

I found this to be quite interesting
