Leybourne Grange is a former villa asylum in Kent, due to the sparse layout of the buildings it occupies a vast expanse of land (270 acres). It is built around a Manor House and some smaller victorian buildings.
Much of the site was either stripped or demolished during 2007, including boiler house, engineering works, mortuary, gymnasium, swimming pool, main hall and ballroom. I didn't hold my hopes up for finding anything interesting but had my fingers crossed that the previously sealed manor house and clocktower buildings would be open.
Our luck was in, and seeing these previously sealed buildings made the trip worthwhile.
Visited with King Al.
Some shots from 2006 of buildings that aren't there any more...
