Admiration


Admiration: (from a Yahoo message board)

"The gentle decaying bin is Hellingly hospital......it is a classic red brick Victorian asylum, on a grand scale. It is laid out along the mile long drive down to Ashen Hill like toad spawn. All the buildings face towards the sea 5 miles to the south. I think they probably look more beautiful now than they did when occupied because it is possible to romaticise them now."
