Current Status: It was largely demolished, leaving the only Administration block, the Chapel and the water tower. Due to a fire back in November 2010, the water tower collapsed and the Administration block is now a complete shell
Trivia: The admin block and chapel never achieved a Grade listing, but were locally listed instead. The admin block also appeared as a cover submission for David Bowie's album The Man Who Sold The World due to his brother being a patient here at the time. Charlie Chaplin's mother was a patient here as was Michael Caine's brother too
