This is the first part of 3 reports on this visit to Severalls. Lots of photos were taken :) Part 2 and 3 will follow shortly, stay tuned and enjoy... History Severalls Lunatic Asylum aka The Second Essex County Asylum aka Severalls Hospital located in Colchester, Essex was a psychiatric hospital built in 1910 . Controversial psychiatric experiments / treatments were known to have taken place at Severalls including electro-convulsive therapy (ECT) along with the use of frontal lobotomies. These sorts of treatments peaked in the 1950′s. The hospital began its closure process in the early 1990′s along with many of the other large asylums in the country and a small portion remained open until 1997 to cater for continued treatment of some of the older patients. Alot more on The History and Future of Severalls in the original visit report from October 2012.
