St Johns Asylum - BraceBridge Heath (Lincoln) December 2010
Visited with Andy, Zero81 and Wherever I May Roam
What a great, if not foggy and miserable day. This Asylum has been on my list for a while now and almost complete's the Asylum's remaining in the north of England.
We had much comedy on the way there and probably more on the way back, cheers guys.
The 'Asylum' (St John's Mental Hospital) closed down in 1990 and was sold a few years later to a property developer who constructed nearly 1,000 new houses in the village. The original hospital buildings themselves are classified as Grade III listed buildings and are protected from demolition. During the redevelopment of the hospital site, a number of these protected buildings were refurbished and converted into flats and offices.
Cheers
