Colchester is quite a hotspot for closed hospitals. Apart from Severalls, there are at least two more...

Colchester has a few old derelict buildings in it's Hythe region. A lot of them have been demolished to make way for luxury(/student?) flats, but a few remain.

Severalls Asylum was built in 1913. It closed in the late 1990s. In it's heyday it housed 2000 patients; some of which were used in experimental medical tests/operations.
Recently it has been sold for redevelopment. Apparently the whole site is to be demolished. I thought I should go for a quick (4 hour) look...
Severalls Asylum - Myland Court

Went back to Severalls. The last visit barely scratched the surface! Also took my tripod this time - cue better pictures inside.
Or so I imagined.
Sadly we didn't get to the main complex, so we settled on exploring Myland Court. In the past this building housed a mother & baby unit, an occupational therapy department, and an E.C.T clinic..

On previous visits to Severalls I always managed to miss some things - like upstairs, cells and the morgue. Today I made another trip there to see these things... with success 
Also met up with about 10 other members of 28DL which was quite fun!

A return visit to Severalls Asylum was on the cards after last month's slightly short trip. Went back with Abo for quite a successful little trip.
