Royal Lunatic Asylum c1878
Enlarge photo |  More about this photo

Proper name is the Royal Albert Hospital, not as we used to call the "looney bin".
It is the second Asylum in Lancaster, the other being the Moor Hospital, or County Mental Institution. I worked in the kitchens here. A very spooky place full of gloomy atmosphere.

A memory of Lancaster in Lancashire shared on Monday, 20th December 2010.
