West Park Hospital, Epsom, March 2011

Great seeing old photos of this place....I feel for the people just getting into this activity now who missed the golden ages of Asylum exploring which ended with the demolition of West Park.

I wish I could go back just one more day with my DSLR instead of the point and shoot I was using back in 2009. Although I'd still trade half my time in West Park for another day in Hellingly...

This is me, we have been lucky to find a few places though.

Great pics, looks a bit creepy

Thanks for sharing these images. Real classics and true archival stuff. You captured the place very well and I just wish I had a time machine haha

It was one of the tourist shots that everyone tried to get when they went, there were also:

1.) Hoovers set up in formation in Admin
2.) Red fire extinguishers set up in the shape of a ?

Sure there were some others too, but cant recall what they were!

Yeah the hoovers were originally set up in a room in the admin block, the floor cleaners came from a room at the front of one of the wards on the left of the admin block looking from outside.

What absolutely stunning images. They belong in an art gallery. All the more poignant now that it's gone. Many thanks for sharing these. I particularly like no. 12. Really, award-winning.
