St. Audry's Asylum Collection , a set on Flickr.

A delightful surprise on a visit with the kids to Felixstowe museum - an amazing room dedicated to St. Audry's Lunatic Pauper Asylum: ECT machines; photographs of the hospital facilities - including the hairdressers; creepy paintings by patients; an even creepier painting of the main entrance - complete with ambulance delivering or taking away an inmate; a mortuary toolset.

oh yes... ;)

Seriously it's an amazing collection. They also have a photo archive which they said i can take a look at next time iam down. A totally unexpected treat. I recently went up to St. Audry's - now a housing estate (see earlier post) so this was the perfect insight of what was and great material for a speculative what might be for the housing estate.

hope you're good Andrew!

Cheers
Andy

The middle picture reminds me of the cover of Nursery Cryme by Genesis (a bit).
