    Default Lincolnshire County Lunatic Asylum - June 2012 (Image Intensive)

    St Johns Asylum formerly known as the Lincolnshire County Lunatic Asylum was built in 1852 and went through several expansions.Originally established as a joint venture between Lindsey, Kesteven, Holland, Lincoln, Grimsby and Stamford, and managed by a Board of Visitors decided on by the contributing authorities. Kesteven and Grantham withdrew their support when the contract of Union expired in 1893, eventually establishing the Kesteven County Asylum at South Rauceby, 1897. The hospital itself resides in 120 acres of land which includes gardens, farmland and a burial ground. The 1940 female patients were transferred to other hospitals, mainly Storthes Hall near Huddersfield, to allow enough space for an Emergency Hospital, with many returning until well after the war had ended. The NHS took over hospital administration in 1948. It wasn't until the 1960s that it finally became known as St John's Hospital. Patients were from Harmston Hall Hospital were transfered to St Johns when that hospital closed. Finally in 1989 St John's Hospital itself was closed in with all remaining patients transferred to other hospitals. The site was sold to developers and with the exception of the central block most buildings were demolished.

    Just to let all urbex people know that I read in The Lincolnshire Echo last night that St Johns is to be converted into flats. They said they will try to do it in a way which retains the character and uniqueness of the buidings however the water tower will to go.
    So any urbex people who would like to see this gem before it is changed should not wait too long before they visit.I did a reccee last night and although security has increased there are still good points of access. Send me a message if you would like a meetup - as I live in lincoln and the guided tour would be free of charge ! ( very sad really ! )
