Admin block of Hellingly Hospital, formerly known as the East Sussex County Asylum. Opened in 1903 this vast site (covering most of the grid square) was an enclosed community having a farm, church and even its own railway connected to the nearby Cuckoo Line. Now vandalised and ravaged by the elements it closed in the 1990's apart from the nearby secure unit.
