Whilst walking the dog a few weekend ago i decided to have a nose around at the few remaining original buildings on the now fully developed former asylum.
To my surprise the Mortuary is completley untouched.
The hospital was constructed in 1897 to cope with the influx of patients from other nearby asylums, this entire site was set in ancient woodland and was amazingly landscaped.
The hospital had closed by 1999 and soon afterwards Redrow Homes started to convert many of the former hospital buildings into apartments.
The Mortury
The VERY icey tunnel on the way to the hospital grounds!
Hope this was ok for a first time report
The chapel is still standing just opposite the mortury,would love to get in and get some pics of that at a later date
