The Lost Asylum

The East Essex County Mental Asylum opened its doors in 1903. It is built close to the small village of Hellingly, in South West England. The architect G.T. Hine designed the Victorian hospital on a very large scale, spreading the many buildings on a huge campus.

Psychiatric lessons

Isolated from everything, having only one single road and its own train line, the psychatric asylum remained self-sufficient for years.

Patients & staff used to live under the same roof in the many red bricks buildings linked by closed hallways, and offering "therapeutic" and relaxing views onthe surrounding quiet and green countryside.

The asylum closed its doors in 1994; since then it is decaying, forgotten and rotting in the middle of nowhere...
