Hellingly Asylum Mental Hospital Photos

Posted on 09. Jun, 2010 by SmashingShare in Photography

Hellingly Hospital was a very large mental hospital in the village of Hellingly, East Sussex, England. It was opened in 1903 and the architecture of the hospital was done by great asylum architects of the era.

Accroding to wikipedia

The majority of the hospital closed throughout 1994, however, and to this day much of the 25.4 hectare site stands derelict and extremely run down, after suffering repeated vandalism and multiple arson attacks. The hospital is popular with Urban Explorers, not because it has many hospital items remaining but because of its size, severe dereliction and its dilapidation.

In this post, we will bring some stunning photos from Hellingly Asylum Mental Hospital. I really don’t know the history of Hellingly Asylum Hospital but I liked the photos of this building found on DeviantArt and thought to share it with you guys.

I would love to know more about this. If anyone of you have some interesting stuff to share about Hellingly Asylum, please share it here in the comments.

Whoa…Creepy and interesting…

Looks like a haunted house..

Some of the photos have effects…are they done through Photshop or are they real (like the purple effect in the 38th Picture)?

Truly chilling but beautifully captured, almost unreal… like something out of half-life!

In the Crazy Choices photo right hall in the darkness there is a skull face and in the His Room photo you can see a face in the darkness of the door window. Creepy!

Very beautiful work. They look to be a mix between HDR (High Dinamic Range) and standard images. Places with as much character as that are hard to come by….

Gorgeous photos, it’s always odd how the most destroyed places can create the most beautiful photos!
