Haunted Abandoned Ridge Lea Mental Asylum Hospital Lancaster Abandoned Places

IN THIS VIDEO WE TAKE YOU ON A EXPLORE OF THE ABANDONED RIDGE LEA MENTAL ASYLUM HOSPITAL IN LANCASTER.
HISTORY
During the nineteenth century Lancaster became a provincial centre for the treatment of mental illness.
In 1809 it was decided that the proposed County Lunatic Asylum would be built at Lancaster; a recognition of Lancaster’s status as the county town.
Lancaster Moor Hospital was Lancashire’s first County Lunatic Asylum. 1n 1907 Lancaster Moor.
Additional buildings, known as Ridge Lea, were added in 1907, 1909, 1912, 1916 and 1938. These buildings were chiefly to accommodate private patients.
Ridge Lea finally closed in 2016.
Lancaster Moor Hospital was Lancashire’s first County Lunatic Asylum. It was formerly known as The County Lunatic Asylum. The decision to build it was taken in 1809, one year after the permissive County Asylums Act, 1808. The hospital opened in 1816 as the County Lunatic Asylum for the County Palatine of Lancaster.
It was only the fourth asylum to be built under the terms of the Act in the country. It was extended in 1824 and 1883, and by 1891 it accommodated 1833 patients. In that year its administration was transferred to the new Lancashire Asylums Board of Lancashire County Council.
Additional buildings, known as Ridge Lea, on the ‘villa’ principle were added in 1907, 1909, 1912, 1916 and 1938. These buildings were chiefly to accommodate private patients.
Ridge Lea finally closed down in 2016 and the nearby Lancaster Moor site and Chapel has now become houses and apartments.
