Asylum Lodge in Devizes, Wiltshire, stands as a haunting reminder of the past. Its walls whisper stories of patients who were confined within its confines for reasons unknown. Banstead Asylum in Surrey and Stone Asylum in Aylesbury, Buckinghamshire are no different - their eerie presence lingers long after they closed their doors.

Exminster Asylum in Devon served as a sanctuary for those deemed unfit by society's standards. Barming Asylum in Maidstone, Kent held secrets that still remain hidden within its decaying corridors.

Meanwhile Carmarthen County Lunatic Asylum stands tall as an emblem of South Wales' tumultuous past. Across borders lies Union Workhouse located Cootehill, County Cavan Ireland; it serves not only as an asylum but also reminds us of societal attitudes towards mental health during that era.
