Hensol Hospital, Pontyclun 04/09

[Urban-Warrior]

Hensol opened in July 1930 as a colony for around 100 male patients with learing disabilities otherwise kown as mental defectives at the time.. by 1935 the completion of several new blocks increased the total patient toll to aroud 460.. The site today is being pertly redeveloped and sits in the grounds of the Vale hotel & Cardiff City FC's training grounds..

Visited this excellent site with Cogito.. Becky.. Jess & My Brother Gareth.. a good site with lots to see well worth a visit.
