Cool....

Answering a question by someone earlier, the John Waters movie " Cry Baby" shot a few scenes here. Johnny Depp played cry baby.

My paternal grandmother was a patient at Hellingly for several years & died there in 1972. My sister & I would wait in the car park (car doors being locked) while our parents visited for about an hour at most. My father's mother didn't recognise him or our mother, so I presume she had senile dementia. She had been a piano teacher in Tunbridge Wells. When I was 21 I moved into the house in which she had lived in Camden Road. It's sickening seeing what has become of this place, interior wise, although strangely beautiful & comforting viewed from an aerial perspective.

Verden - the most good-looking and handsome. The windows are not boarded up.
How is this possible?
Must have excellent keeper/wardens loving the job to keep the buildings intact.

does this lead to wonderland or something like that?

Wallpaper, please? :)

Just love those open windows above the doors. It is plain clever.
Verden FTW always. My favorite. Soft.....

How i love Verden. The colors + light are soft soft soft.
May be it will be saved.
May be there is hope.

That is absolutely beautiful!

Is it weird that that seems familiar and almost homey to me? Except for it missing the angled curbs at the base of the wall that could be the same hall I spent an awful lot of my childhood in sitting uncomfortably against the curb at the base of the wall.

This reminds me of the cages built to block off the stairs in the Isolation Hospital.

Is this place still standing? Any other buildings? Awesome location.

Stairway to Heaven?

Reminds me of an Ad with shredded cut outs for passerby to rip off a name and number.
