Mid Wales Hospital- Urban Explorer Shropshire

Talgarth asylum. Construction of the asylum began in 1900 and this is marked by the stone above the front door entrance, although it wasn't officially opened until 1903 by the Rt. Hon. It was opened under the name of ''The Brecon and Radnor Lunatic Asylum. The hospital site owned 27 acres of what is now the Pwll-Y-Wrach nature reserve. The hospital was originally built to carry 352 patients. The hospital had it's own waterworks and treatment plant, it's own sewage system, it's own 155 acre farm and 8 acres of market gardens to supply the hospital with vegetables, fruit, crops and meat (and where patients deemed well enough could work to earn their keep) as well as having workshops where patients could make items or carry out repairs on the hospitals fittings or make items that could be sold for profit that could be returned to the hospital for upkeep. The hospital also had it's own Church/Chapel where patients would attend regular services and pray for health, a small grave yard, a mortuary and morgue, a boiler room to power the hospital, a large hall for eating and recreation, kitchens, a tailor, a bakery, a shoe-maker and cobbler, laundry rooms and printing press shops. This made the hospital almost completely self sufficient. It also had the first steam powered lorry in the Brecon and Radnorshire area, which was used to travel up and down the steep hill to the nearby train station at Talgarth where coal would arrive by rail to power the hospital boiler rooms. After the first world war (1914-1918) the population of patients grew rapidly due to the mental issues and trauma that soldiers suffered when returning home from the war. A Private John Lewis died on October 20, 1915, while being cared for at a military wing of the hospital and was buried behind the hospital church with a military tomb stone. By 1925 the capacity of the hospital was recorded as 455 due to the shell shock effect suffered in the war and inmates were record from as far as Swansea and Shrewsbury. Around this time the hospital was renamed as Mid-Wales Counties Mental Hospital. During the outbreak of the second world war (1939-1945) the Cardiff City Mental Hospital was turned in to a military hospital to care for the wounded so the Mid Wales Hospital took in an extra 115 mental patients from Cardiff. However by 1942 due to the hospital facilities ''excellent reputation'' the government decided that the Mid Wales Hospital should also be turned in to a military hospital to care for injured soldiers during the war. The hospital was used to treat injured soldiers, some of whom had limbs blown off. Evidence suggests that the conversion of the hospital to a military hospital was down to a near by prominent Nazi being held in the area. During this time a part of the hospital was turned in to a prisoner of war camp hospital to treat captured Nazi soldiers whilst ensuring that they were still imprisoned. Throughout Britain during this time, sign posts were removed from towns and roads so that if a Nazi force should invade Britain they would find it harder to work out where they were. There was also a fear that spies were in the country relaying information back to Germany. The British dealt with the majority of Nazi war prisoners in much the same way that they dealt with the mentally ill during Victorain times. They put them somewhere that was 'out of sight and out of mind' and in a rural location so that should they manage to escape they would be far away from a city or coastal port where they could get back to Germany. The Mid Wales Hospital was a perfect location for this, particularly as the vast hospital grounds were still surrounded with a spiked iron fence that was originally built in Victorian times to keep the patients in and the public out. It also had vast iron gates and a gatehouse. Some of the iron fencing is still visible today on the front road to the hospital. However if a prominent Nazi was captured his location would receive widespread press in the hopes that it would demoralize the Germans. In 1941, the renowned Nazi leader Rudolph Hess, who was the deputy Führer to Adolf Hitler and who had held that position since 1933, flew in an ME 110 fighter bomber towards Britain and he bailed out of the aircraft over Eaglesham, Scotland. On landing he broke both of his legs and he was immediately captured by the British Home Guard in Scotland and carted off to London for interrogation. He was symbolically placed in the Tower of London by Churchill as a prisoner of war (the last ever prisoner in the Tower of London) but shortly after he was relocated firstly to Aldershot and then on to the Abergavenny Mental Hospital in 1942. The hospital was eventually closed in 1999.
