I made a short visit to the now famous Cane Hill Hospital while down that way for work purposes. I know it's been done many times but sometimes, you just have to see a place for yourself.

I can see why it's a very popular destination, the buildings are very atmospheric and imposing. After the stripped out shells of a few other asylums I have visited, this place seems packed with left behind items.

As I visited on a week day the place was very busy with demo bods all over, even in the buildings, this made navigation quite difficult. I could see the hall but due to about five demo guys standing sorting a pile of old bricks (!!) right outside it was impossible to access.....maybe another time.

Once inside the fence all buildings are very easy to access. Compare this place to St Mary's for example where every window is intact. Anyway, some pictures of my visit.

Big thanks to SS for the help mate


The outside and the mother of all fences.

The pool table room, I am not kidding when I say demo workers were right outside the window.

There is some great decay in this place, almost the best I have seen.

Isolation cells and the cool spy hole doors. Must have been grim in here.
