In the past week I have visited all four West Yorkshire Asylums and tried to get some shots in the snow. As most will know, at three of the four sites not much is left
First up is Stanley Royd Asylum, not much remains of this and most is now housing. The Clock Tower, Recreation Hall and the 1818 Building all remain and have been converted. The only remaining building that is derelict is the chapel with its amazing stained glass windows.
Opened 1818 Closed 1995
Chapel in the far corner of the grounds. See inside it

The 1818 Building
Some of the conversion.
Clock tower from the original Admin building. New Hospital behind.
Recreation Hall, now some kind of modern church.
Next up is Wadsley Asylum in Sheffield, not much remains of this place except the chapel, abandoned and forgotten in the trees. The chapel is done up like a fortress so no way was I getting in
Silverstealth has an excellent thread on the conversion HERE
Opened 1869 Closed 1999
Next up an often overlooked is Storthes Hall Asylum a few miles out of Huddersfield. Most of the main hospital has been cleared away but some remains in the form of a "Student Village". Other bits left to explore include the stripped morgue and isolation unit and the main admin building itself. There are other bits left to rot in the surrounding woods, no idea what they were.
Storthes Hall now also has a farm again after nearly fifty years
Opened 1904 Closed 1991
Last is High Royds Hospital in Leeds. This is the most complete of all four West Yorkshire Asylums and a lot remains including the morgue, admin, various wards, recreation hall, isolation hospital and childrens unit.
Opened 1888 Closed 2003
Main admin building.
Rear wards
No idea but mongy
Part of the conversion.
Thanks for looking
