Severalls asylum has taken some beatings within the last couple of years from arson, natural decay and the elements... here are some photos from my last few visits... heres some history on the site... visited with jonboy and RA
Built 1910
Opened 1913
Closed 1997
Severalls was based on the 'Echelon Plan' Where the offices, Admin and wards were in reach of each other connecting them via interconnecting corridors. The Accomodation blocks soon followed the hospital being built between 1910 and 1935.. The hospital was then shut down due to the closures of a range of psychiatric institutions. Severalls is a typical design for an asylum from that day and age, with a lot of others i.e. Hellingly or Cane Hill finding the Corridor design very useful. The current status of the site is in the air at the moment.. Planning permission has apparently gone through but construction will not start for a while yet. An amazing explore if anyone has a chance to do it.
Bit of light painting
