Report - St. Augustine's, Kent County Asylum Jan 2010

[justcurious]

St. Augustine's Hospital at Chartham near Canturbury was designed by John Giles & Gough
and opened in 1875 and closed in 1992. The main site has been redeveloped into housing incorporating the all-important water tower, chapel and some of the other original building. However there remains 4 building undeveloped. Possibly the secure/seclusion Hospital. These are newer than the original hospital and are currently boarded up and fenced off.
This can be seen on google maps.

So since I was in the area I decided to have a look around with bicycle, touch and camera in hand.

All the exterior windows have been borded so lighting is not perfect in the corridors. I did my best.

These pictures were taken in this building. The one with the interesting layout as can be seen on google maps.

Hope you like (there are more pictures on flickr).
This is my first report so don't be too harsh but constructive criticism is welcome

It's been on here before, but not for a long time - I visited it back in 2008.

Nice set of photos, good to see it during the day - we stupidly went at night.

I did do a search on the forum but I used an apostrophe. I never saw that report. Not much has changed by the look of it. Watch out for the large holes in the floor.

Here are a few more shots,

That's it.
