Sometimes "Metal Fairies" are a little "DUMB" especially when they usually just knock locks off to get in!

I spoke to English Heritage about saving the building, they said they didn't list it due to there not being any real special architectural or historical importance and they had already considered it for listed a couple of years earlier.

Really? That sounds dodgy to me. Second biggest asylum in Europe.. I wonder what a building has to have to qualify for listed if this place wasnt saved.
