Following on from Monday's post about the Epsom hospitals, here are some videos I have managed to unearth. Sadly, there don't seem to be any actual documentaries available, as they would be truly fascinating. We will have to make do with some urban exploration (unfortunately a little stagey in places, I must admit) before the wonderful old buildings were demolished.

The Epsom Cluster (Part One)...
Departing from the jolly postings of last week, today sees the first in a series of posts of a much darker nature. Living in Surrey, I was literally surrounded by a number of psychiatric hospitals - or as they were commonly known back then, lunatic asylums. I'm not sure of the reason behind the proliferation of such establishments in the area, but there were quite a few,
In particular, there was a group of hospitals near about 10 minutes away from where I lived. I will be covering the hospitals in more detail later, but here is a brief overview of the "Epsom Cluster".
