Grayling well psychiatric hospital /April /2012

[Jane Doe]

Well I guess here goes for my first post and have to say have allot to learn.
But am looking forwards to doing so.
I explored alone on this one which I found great fun yet unnerving if I’m honest.
Grayling well was the psychiatric hospital for the western end of west Sussex.
It was designed by architect Sir Arthur Bloomfield and opened in 1897

Its History is well documented
Over the years, huge advances in the care of patients with mental problems led to the closure of the old asylums and the widespread controversial use of the care in the community.

It closed in 2001 and planning permission was granted to build 750 homes and related commercial and community facilities. Which is now in full swing?

Now with my clothes in tatter and black and blue I honestly couldn’t have been happier.
Is that normal lol
Thank you, Jane Doe

Good first report. How old are the photos? Not sure if this is something you just did or something from ages ago. Your post is headed April so I guess thats when? Do you know what condition it is in now?

Hi Thank you.. the pictures are very recent. A lot of the infill buildings have been knocked down and work has already started converting the remaining buildings. The only building remaining virtually untouched at the mo is the one i splored and the Farmhouse which dates back to the 18 centuary. So if you want to go you will have to be quick .

When Ur in that frame of mind you see things that otherwise ud miss.
Also know the place is busy with the ongoing conversion so fair play on getting in
