bit of history

Leybourne Grange is located right beside the M20 near Maidstone ud drive past it and not notice.it covers around 270 acres and is very tree-based. The trees (and fresh air etc) were meant to be good for the patients. 1200 patients.

It opened in 1936, was used for sixty years, and finally closed in 1996. The colony was built in the grounds of a huge manor house

It's funny in away seeing this place again. In the early 80's one of my sisters was cared for here. I can still remeber walking around some of the corridors
