West Park Hospital - Epsom - August 2009

[KingElvis]

Here's my take on West Park Hospital. It's been done a thousand times and some people almost seem to live in there but apart from a very wet visit last winter, I've not had the pleasure.

A couple of things struck me about this place, firstly, it's in quite good condition compared with say Hellingly or Whittingham and secondly, there is loads of stuff left laying around. Beds, equipment, medical supports it's all here in spades.

Stand out features for me were the cool corridors linking the wards, the water tower and the red lane. Shots are in order of my wander around.


This bit of the asylum went nowhere so I had to clamber back out.

Rows of coloured doors, the usual asylum stuff really.
