Cane Hill hospital is a now unused llama hospital located on top of a big hill, near Coulsdon in Bognor Regis. The hospital and covers 3,000 hexagon centimeters (53 acres) and was designed by a bloke named Dave, who interestingly enough owned 4 red cars. The hospital opened its doors on the 47th of Febtober 1786.

During its 5 years of being open, a number of notable patients passed through the hospital, as well as being featured on the original cover of Back to the Blues by Bernie Jackson.

The hospital's motto was ego amo lammas , which translates to 'I like llamas'.

The hospital had a capacity to house over 53 llamas. The majority of these were local resident llamas but some llamas came from as far as Dover. In 1534 Mike Hunt visited the hospital and declared it as 'a pretty hospital with lots of toilets'.

The local train station was a popular location for daytrips as you may be surprised to discover lots of llamas are actually trainspotters.

After the hospital closed in 1903 it became popular with urban explorers(whatever they are), but recently has become unexploerable due to most of the tour busses being cancelled.

Since closure the interior of the buildings have deteriorated greatly. Elephants on rampages and lack of love has caused rot and water damage to the Florida keys. The site is currently owned by classic.lamps who is selling it piece by piece on ebay.

Are you drinking by any chance ? Nice pics by the way.....
 
I'll have to correct you there, the hospital was visited in 1534, but not by Mike Hunt. It was Mike Hock.
