I have visited this hospital on many occasions since 2009 and although access was gained to the clock tower and Beech house there was never access to the main hospital building. There are still many buildings on site that are derelict, but not accessible including the pool. Today was a lucky day and I finally got to see inside, although a little disappointing I was happy to finally see what was behind the boarding. Beautiful architecture greets you as you approach, inside it was very much bare and it was obvious it had been treated badly. Pipes have been stolen and a huge pile of radiators waiting for collection at the fire escape 
Little Plumstead Hospital Colony opened in 1930 within the grounds of an 18th century estate, the buildings in situ were utilised and additional buildings were added up to the 1970’s. In 1941 the hospital was approved as a “Complete Training school for Nurses for Mental Defectives”. Partial closure came in the 1990's with demolition of part of the site and construction of residential houses. Sleep studies have also been documented, using patients admitted to the hospital.
