Originally built as the Liverpool Seaman’s Orphan Institute in 1874, homing hundreds of poor children from Victorian Liverpool. After WWII, the orphanage was closed, and the building reopened as a mental asylum, treating people with severe mental health conditions, as well as providing shocking procedures in attempts to ‘cure’ people. Notorious killers were also brought here to be mentally assessed before being determined whether they can be sent to mainstream prisons. One of those being the notorious Ian Brady, the moors murderer. This building is now a time capsule of all that history.
