Eastry Asylum
Visited solo at some point in 2011. Had just one and a half hour to do it, but it was just about right (without going to the basement though).

It quickly grew insize over subsequent years with more accomodation blocks being errected up until the 1870′s The layout was a traditional design, with the buildings being errected around a large courtyard. A chapel was built close to the road on one side of the workhouse. The workhouse eventually became Eastry Hospital, which was a centre that specialised in the care of people with learning difficulties. It finally closed in the late 1990′s.
