St. Augustine's, Kent County Asylum

St. Augustine's Hospital at Chartham near Canturbury was designed by John Giles & Gough
and opened in 1875 and closed in 1992. The main site has been redeveloped into housing incorporating the all-important water tower, chapel and some of the other original building. However there remains 4 building undeveloped. These are newer than the original hospital and are currently boarded up and fenced off.
This can be seen on google maps.

So since I was in the area I decided to have a look around with bicycle, touch and camera in hand.

All the exterior windows have been borded so lighting is not perfect in the corridors. I did my best.













These pictures were taken in this building. The one with the interesting layout as can be seen on google maps.


Hope you like (there are more pictures on flickr).
This is my first report so don't be too harsh but constructive criticism is welcome

Thanks guys.

I was on bike, so getting there was easy, dead end road don't mean I have to stop peddling . But I did drive there a couple of days before hand.

Fabulous, some really good pics there. I don't like fisheye at all (to me it just seems like an excuse for barrel distortion) but that doesn't change the fact that they're decent pics. Good stuff!

Thanks for the comments,
Some people like the fishy eye, some people like HDR, some B+W.
I'm experimenting and trying a bit of everything.

Here are a few more shots,



That's it.
