Continuing my tour of asylums before they are all demolished, decided I wanted to pay a visit to Severalls in Colchester. Hell of a drive down there from the north east, but managed to spend I think about 4 hours in the place... (as well as contemplating one of the higher palisades I've come across which seemed to be located in 'dog-walker-central' at that timeof day). : /
Beautiful sunny day for it, and really enjoyed the wander.. Two negative points were not gaining access to the tower, and seeing the remnants of what I can only assume used to be the main hall.. but all in all a canny mooch. Highlights for me were stumbling into a room with the 'card table' and also crawling about on the roof....
Wont repeat the history...as the place has been covered by every man and his dog.. but here's the usual linky thing for anyone who somehow hasnt managed to hear of the place Severalls Hospital - Wikipedia
