- Update: 1 Year on • Aerial Flight over Can...
I had been meaning to fly over and film what remains on the once vast Cane Hill Mental Asylum in Coulsdon on the outskirts of London for some time and finally got round to do it in early May 2015.
The hospital, originally built in 1882 closed in 1991 and has since decayed awaiting decisions on how the land would be re-purposed.
All that remains is the Chapel, Administration Building and Water Tower, redevelopment of the site to include 650 new homes is scheduled to start later in 2015.

Used to work there - started May 81 as a pupil nurse, it was an interesting 2 years to say the least.
Left after 2 years training, good memories.

I spent over a year in Cane Hill as an inmate and though it was overcrowded it was an incredible building. I think it is a crime that it was neglected, vandalised, set on fire and demolished. I have fond memories of some of the patients there. The mentally ill were sold out when care in the community failed to materialise and day resources were shut down. This is poignant film.
I miss the Coulsdon I used to know, thanks for this.
No problem
Amazing, I lived in the valley and my Dad worked there. I could see the water tower from my house. Glad a little bit of it remains to remind us of the community it supported.
Wow I'm now a bin man who works the whole of that new build its weird to see it like this
I used to live on St Andrews Rd in Coulsdon and Cane Hil used to be the view from my window for most of my early life, glad I found this video as I always wanted to see na aerial view.
Thanks for this stunning video. The music is well suited. A very calming and peaceful setting with Chipstead behind it and Farthing Downs to the side. I would love to see what it's like now with the new development if you're able to shoot something similar?
Fantastic video, amazing to see. If only the tech had been available when the site was still standing!
Be good to see a video like this of Netherne as it is now
great video ..beautiful music .love it
***** the buildings in the video are all that remain. They are protected (I assume) so will be retained and restored during the re-development
Wow, Just wow. I explored so much of this place in my teens. It quite emotional to see it all gone like this. I can't believe the state of the main front building. It was complete but stripped when I last saw it. Thieves totally ruined this place. So sad.
Ha, yeah, so did I. Wonder if we ever saw each other.
New update video 12 months on added today. Building work has begun Cane Hill Hospital is now Cane Hill Park. ua-cam.com/video/dReNisEbsMU/v-deo.html

Fascinating. Anyone know what the building was behind the church?
The entertainment hall, had a stage, did dances, shows and Christmas parties for kids of workers
are the building still standing? or have they been knocked down for redevelopment?
no they are still there i went there on sunday but there are a lot of trucks and diggers there. if you want to go there make sure its a sunday, as the builders wont be there
went up there yesterday with some mates its all still there and they have a load of new houses there
gunman261 the next phase is currently going through planning another 600 or so homes to be added the chapel water tower and admin building are remaining though as they are protected.
yep right but are they going to refurbish them?
Yes I think so, probably similar to what they did at Nethern on the Hill. The Chapel there is now part on the on-site health club and the water tower was turned into a couple of flats I think
I did a vid a couple of months back of what it looked like then with some of the building started ua-cam.com/video/dReNisEbsMU/v-deo.html
