Eastry Hospital - June 2011

[Ramsgatonion]

This was a bit of a last minute explore - I decided I should take my scooter on its first Urbex mission :mrgreen:

Visited alone nice and early in the morning so no bother from any locals.

I can't find much History for this place, but I know it started out as a Workhouse and stayed that way for more than a century, then in the 1940's it became a Mental Hospital. Also heard of it being a children's hospital before closure. Most of the buildings are now demolished, but some have been marked as historically important, so need to be refurbished. There are signs everywhere saying the buildings are a part of a conservation project and they will be refurbished. But they are in a bad way. Anyway, hopefully someone can put me straight on the history...
