So headed back to Lincolnshire on my 2nd flexi day off work this year, after first failing here a few weeks ago i returned for another solo visit and this time found access, the majority of the ground floor is pitch black, the cellar is flooded and spent a good 2 hours there and thoroughly enjoyed my time there.


History

This is taken from the BBC News website from around the date of its closure 2002:

The Ferdowse Clinic at Heckington near Sleaford has treated up to 2,000 people since it was set up 15 years ago.Dr Mostafa Morsy said: "It is dangerous that alcoholics are being denied the chance to receive residential treatment.

Dr Mostafa Morsy said: "It is dangerous that the government is giving priority to drugs because alcohol is far more dangerous than illegal drugs."

Tom Edwards had a drinking problem for 30 years before coming to the clinic. It cost him his career in the television industry and many of his friends.

He said: "I was going round in a kind of vicious circle. When I crossed the threshold of the Heckington clinic my battle with the bottle was done - and the bottle had won - I had given in."

Since his treatment he has been alcohol-free for three years.
