In this video, we explore an abandoned hospital in Ireland that was formerly occupied as one of the country's 18 Mother and Baby Homes that was under government investigation after hundreds of children were discovered beneath one. Reports of horrific abuse, forced labour, negligence, secret adoptions overseas in exchange for money and starvation were published, all contributing to thousands of tragic infant mortality across most, if not all, of the sites. It is one of the darkest pasts we have come across, a total juxtaposition from the building's colourful walls and child-friendly hospital decorations of modern day.
Urbandoned consists of three friends (Alistair, Alex and Theo) all with a passion for documenting abandoned structures across the world. With a combined 21 years of experience exploring these buildings, Urbandoned aims to locate and capture on the most fascinating derelict sites through documentary style videos and photographic reports.
