This is the kind of thing that horror movies have at their epicentre.

I suppose the irony is that anyone who actually ends up living there would probably have been a borderline candidate for the place when it was a psych hospital.

By coincidence, I just came across this in a book I'm reading.  It's referring to a pastoral deputy head of a school, but can easily be adapted for this thread..

"Many was the wayward urchin with the wedge haircut who was sent to his office for a damned good letting off."

The Old  Broadmoor was decommissioned in 2019 for the new £250 million pound building ( first stage ) next door .

The site 60 acres has now been put up for sale by the NHS for residential development.
Much of the Victorian buildings are Grade  two listed .

It's bang in the middle of prime residential Berkshire  .
I wonder if whoever buys it will convert the old buildings into luxury apartments as has been done at other Victorian  mental hospitals .

However this is Broadmoor that has housed horrendous murderers Sutcliffe , the Krays and murderer of Lee Rigby and goodness knows what other deviants .

The Feng shui must be dreadful surely evil must be soaked into the walls there .

Would you live in the old Broadmoor ? 

Anyone who is an asylum seeker who is found guilty of a crime should automatically be returned to their country of origin.  They will have come here for protection, and it's a pretty poor show if they then decide to bite the hand that feeds them.

Yobs rule.. They can walk into any shop .. take what they want.. and walk out again.. No-one dares to stop them.. Mustn't lay hands on them..
Staff fear for their own safety..
They don't even need a fast getaway motor.. Those days have long gone..
This applies to private property also..

My mum's husband was a (spiv).. Always on the make.. Never fought for his country.. A coward !!.. or just a bastard. !!  Probably both..
Ran off with an usherette ... I guess he was blinded by her torch..

A stranger knocked on Elsie's door
Five minutes later they were on the floor
Was it lust or did they fall?
Or a Yoga instructor come to call !
