After our shock discovery at West Park earlier in the day, and after a good lunch in Epsom town centre me and my companion set off, initially, to try and find St Ebbas. After getting a bit lost, but being buoyed by street names such as 'Horton Hill' and 'Long Grove Drive' we found the converted/new build combination that was the Horton Hospital. Heading towards the looming tower (totally sealed) we came out by the steel shuttered Hall/Chapel and spotted an interesting looking building almost hidden from view on the edge of the site. Turned out to be a Doctors House for the site, and it's totally fooked! We didn't dare venture upstairs after seeing the state of some of the floorboards....

Very nice decay indeedy..so you couldnt find the remains of good ol St Ebbas...its not that far from WP!
 
At the end of the day we weren't even sure we were at Horton, but this was right next to the 'Horton Haven' hospital site and stamped on a piece of wood out the front of the building was 'Horton Doctor's Residence' or something similar so put two and two together....
 
Reminds me of the abandonded houses near me as they are soo trashed. but this house has a lot more too see and to photograph :D nice pictures.. shame about WP though im glad i saw it when i did...
 
Only the admin is left at St Ebbas isn't it? Last time I was there was August 2008 and the demo had progrssed massively. I still found it the most boring asylum ever.

Back to the original topic - nice to see something original from Horton! Had no idea there were bits and pieces left,
