TERRIFYING abandoned mental/lunatic asylum in Brighton, East Sussex! 🏚️
It housed mentally imbalanced and psychologically damaged individuals back in the 1940's. Originally housed “gymnasium” style, harsh living conditions and extended stays lead to patient deaths and staff disappearances!!!
The site was gradually abandoned and boarded up because the 19th-century buildings were cramped, riddled with asbestos, and did not meet modern 21st-century healthcare standards.
It is currently in active, high-stakes negotiations regarding its redevelopment, following years of delays and pandemic-related pauses.
Because the land was originally gifted to the people of Brighton, it has sparked a massive political push to prevent it from being sold to private developers.
