Severalls Hospital - Development panorama

[DubbedNavigator]

For anyone interested in the development of Severalls hospital - this is something to look at.

Although they haven't retained a whole lot, its nice to see what has been. Shame its surrounded by all those expensive stud walls, but hey - progress..

Biggest loss there is the chapel really, although a few people may be weirded out by living in the houses directly opposite the tower - bet that bit of history isnt in the marketing leaflets

I lived in Colchester for a while, and struggle to recognise the surrounding area - a lot has changed due to this development and the bypass.

It's sad to see what a pitiful amount of the main building they kept, but at least it's better than nothing...

Should have just leveled it. The tower has been completely ruined with a massive balcony round it and the ward blocks all look awful with black cladding where ever they knocked a bit off the side they didn't fancy keeping.
