| | | Cane Hill was a psychiatric hospital in Coulsdon in the London Borough of Croydon.Built to handle patients unable to attend the Springfield and Brookwood Asylums, both of which were filled to capacity, it opened in 1882 as the Third Surrey County Lunatic Asylum. Following a gradual winding down of operations, it closed all but its secure unit in late 1991. It formerly housed up to 2,000 patients, but with Care in the Community and modern medication and sectioning laws, it was heavily underused by the time of its closure. As of this date the entire site has been demolished apart from admin and water tower. I was lucky to see this site pre demo
