Probably what the people ate everyday since they were treated as a problem to society.

Maybe they electricuted people in there sickos.

Have you ever looked at what went on in there, and thought this doesn't seem right? Why were these patients lashing out were they being ignored when they needed something. Your so stupid that you belong in a place like this. All you cared about was your paycheck not once did you quit if you seriously felt your life was in danger. You are the cause of these people living in misery their torment is forever on your hands.

This place looks like prison not a place to help people. If people were treated like family by the people who worked here they wouldn't have to worry about locking people in rooms. The patients were being mistreated that is why people lash out at others. Putting them into a room doesn't solve the problem it only covers it up for the time being. Given drugs all the time what about talking to them, and helping them become functioning people in society. The patients who went here stayed here for years when they did nothing to deserve this. If this is how you people feel about people who may appear to have mental problems than I can't imagine how people are treated who are handicapped. I can only hope this is turned into something good, and nobody ever lives on this property again.

Beautiful!!

My uncle was put in this place by my grandad because he cheeked him! He spent the best part of 50 odd years in this hellhole. when it closed, he was in his twilight years and moved to a home, where he died a few months later. l will never forger visiting him with my father when l was a kid, and each time we went, he seemed to be more and more drugged. We believe he had awful electric shock treatments as well as other things that went on in there. Anyone who says they have fond memories should think again, maybe for the staff, but certainly not for the patients! Many of the patients there had treatable illnesses which are deemed NORMAL in todays society.

I can't believe no-one has made a "mushroom" joke yet....
Interesting place.

To know something as breathtaking as this has probably been destroyed makes me sick. A grand photo, Mr. Motts, simply grand.

My God, that's beautiful. I wonder if it's fallen to the wrecking ball by now. Heart breaking to see it destroyed.

My Grandad worked in here untill it closed doing all the boilers

i love this place seems never ending i spent many a hour here

Again, if I may SIr -another one taken at Hellingly rather than Severalls? With that said, another brilliant shot -well captured with great colour tones! :o)

A great selection of photos Motts -for your info -I think that this one was taken at Hellingly?

LOL yaz!

OH. MY. GOD. What a fabulous shot! It almost looks like a scale model or something. Love, love, love it!
