Corridor, West Park Hospital

The last great psychiatric hospital to be built in the UK, West Park Hospital was part of the Epsom Cluster that consisted of 5 similar institutions located near Epsom. The design consisted of a central group of larger buildings and a prominent water tower with long corridors radiating outwards to link outlying villas. The corridors in the picture have now been demolished but some buildings have been retained during the ongoing conversion of the site into a housing development.
