St. John's Pauper Lunatic Asylum, or the Lincoln County Asylum was built in 1852, and operated all the way through to 1989. It is of stonebuilt construction and had several blocks for men, women and children. It also had a large central ballroom. It was designed by John R Hamilton of Gloucester and was originally named "Lindsey and Holland Counties and Lincoln and Grimsby District Lunatic Asylum"
Plans are underway to convert the site into a "heritage village" with shops, a primary care centre and houses. Thus it is impossible to enter Administration, The Chapel and Water Tower due to the site security.
Visited with Thompski, LIO112 and Peter.

Thanks For Looking
 
I think you need a taller tripod...!

It's a combination of the fact that I can't be bothered to set it up, and I prefer the lower angles anyway :p
It is actually taller than me when I set it up properly, it's just more convenient to carry it like this.

The only thing that seems new is the excavation of the floor in the children's section of the hospital :confused:
I'm not really sure of anything else though.
