    Arrow St. Georges Morpeth - 23/08/

    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
