Opened in 1903, the East Sussex County Asylum (later named Hellingly Hospital) was designed by notable asylum architect G.T. Hine. It was closed in 1994, and has been falling into disrepair and decay ever since. As of 2011, demolition is now thoroughly underway, and over half of the asylum has already gone - new houses are already built on the land. These photographs are a mixture of originals from my first visit in April 2009, but now processed with textures, and more recent photographs from February 2011 which witness and pay homage to the Last Days of Hellingly.

Photographs shot with a Holga camera, made from plastic with plastic lenses and minimal controls over exposure and focussing - the ultimate in lo-fi photography. http://www.vivecakohphotography.co.uk/2012/02/14/holga-impressions-of-venice/
