Photos around the footpath:

Surviving sign on the drive

Remains of a bus stop I hadn't noticed previously, down a bit from the nurse's home, surprisingly it just survived being demolished as just before is where the main drive was realigned for the coulsdon bypass.

Administration, much more heavily boarded than when i last saw it.

The now empty view across toward the old boiler house chimney and water tower approx from where faraday + guy blocks were. Wesley/Wren can just be seen in the background.

The final remains of Harvard/Hill/Hogarth.

The road to 'Orchards' secure unit - now disused.

Glencairn, the last of the asylum buildings to remain in use, now also closed and boarded.

Posterns, still standing beside Portnalls Road.

North Lodge is also still standing but the surrounding vegetation is so overgrown that it was a surprise to find that it was still there. Other than the areas mentioned previously the rest has gone.
