Water tower, Coulsdon
All that remains of this once vast psychiatric hospital, which opened in the 1880s and was mostly closed by the early 1990s, is the water tower, a fragment of the administration block, and the chapel (TQ2958 : Former Cane Hill Hospital, Coulsdon). It has not fared well in comparison with some other examples of the type. A serious fire in 2010 compounded the large-scale clearance for a Barratt's housing development.
