Inside, it's a dark and unnerving place.

Clayton Hospital was opened in 1854 after Thomas Clayton, a former mayor, donated buildings to the Wakefield general dispensary, an organisation set up to provide healthcare for the poor long before the NHS was set up.

The hospital was abandoned in 2012 and became a hunting ground for so-called 'urban explorers'.
