Broadmoor

[muddy]

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 ?

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.

Perhaps the ideal place to house all our new 'guests'?

No, no, no I would not live there.. I guess some younger buyers wouldn't even know of the Yorkshire Ripper.. Krays.. etc; So, it wouldn't bother them..

We had a big mental asylum .. Royal Earlswood..so called because the Queen's cousin was there for many years.. It has now been developed and called Royal Earlswood Park.. beautiful accommodation.. Many parts of the original building remains because it is listed..
Would I live there ? No, no.. Far too sad..
