East Sussex County Asylum at Hellingly in East Sussex was designed by notable asylum architect G.T. Hine and opened in 1903. His design followed the ideas that relaxing views and extreme isolation were beneficial to psychological recovery, resulting in an "enclosed community" with a full set of facilities including post office and hairdressers, staff living on the premises, only one access road via a long drive, and even its own (very early electric) rail line to the asylum. Later renamed Hellingly Hospital, it closed in 1994 and has suffered badly at the hands of vandals, arsonists, and thieves who have systematically stripped it of items of value.

I visited on a windy winter's day just prior to Xmas ...

  • Excellent video, when was this taken?

  • Late 2006.

  • Is the site still there? Does it get many visitors?

  • The site is still there ... tho' its ownership has recently (in the last month) passed to a new development company. I'm not sure what their plans are, but I imagine it's redevelopment, and quite soon given a recent increase of security at the site.

  • I loved the cold ambiance that the song created and really felt as if "I" was exploring the location myself. Being stuck here with only the United States to trek, makes me enjoy exploitation films from other places that much more.
