Nocton Hall 11|05|08 (With Marlon)
Old country house mysteriously burns down after RAF/USAF wartime requisition. However, this isn't the 1950s, it's the 2000s.

RAF Nocton Hall Hospital 11|05|08 (With Marlon)
Thrown up in the Second World War, this massive hopsital was put on standby for casualties from the Gulf War. However,
the complex has become a casualty itself.

Cane Hill Lunatic Asylum 08|08 (With Major Tom, Marlon, Laura and Will) Mostly demolished between 2008-2009
It was time to do something at Cane Hill which I should've done five years previously. Instead of simply visiting the same
old parts of the complex with different people, it was time for a methodical tour of the wards, to compile a photographic record of
Howell's specialisations. But with demolition in full swing, and the central corridor network decimated, it proved difficult
to move around the complex.

Cane Hill Lunatic Asylum 08|08 (With Major Tom, Marlon, Laura and Will) Mostly demolished between 2008-2009
The demolition had started and the hospital was starting to come down at a frightening rate. Many of the key features of
the former asylum had been consigned to history. It was going to be our last chance to see some of these buildings.
Whilst the day was spent mostly concentrating on the wards, a subset of the photographs stood out and formed a mini-tour of
their own. Following in the footsteps of a similar exploration at Rauceby, here's A Pictorial Record Of The Interior Organisation Of The Watertower.

Cane Hill Lunatic Asylum 08|08 (With Major Tom, Marlon, Laura and Will) Mostly demolished between 2008-2009
Back in 2006, I'd been sent pictures of a mysterious basement at Cane Hill. The picture showed a balcony over which was
a drop in which two windows looked. Pouring over the maps didn't reveal any stairs
which could lead to this area. Now I was back in 2008, this was one we could finally solve.

Hellingly Lunatic Asylum 11|10|08 (With Chris, Marlon and Peter.)
It was time for a return trip to Hellingly to start to formally document the buildings. Plus it was our first explore with
Peter (asylum-expert) and Chris (the great-grandson of one of the architects).
