Left Behind: Capturing the Moor Hospital
Shadows fall on the abandoned ward, broken glass lies on wooden flooring and the memories of those within the building are captured by their scribbled writings on its walls. These are just some of the haunting images captured which both fuse and delicately balance the themes of beauty and decay.
‘Left Behind: Capturing the Moor Hospital’ was an exhibition showcasing Lancaster’s abandoned 19th Century psychiatric hospital, the first asylum in Lancashire. This project set the scene of what was left behind after closing its doors in 2000 and before the complex was given a new lease of life and redeveloped as luxury homes in 2013.
Explore the Moor Hospital and let the images take you on a journey of discovery into the history of what was left behind.
A HUGE thank you to the 14,000 + people who visited the ‘Left Behind: Capturing the Moor Hospital’ at Lancaster City Museum.
