The now closed and derelict Severalls Mental Hospital, Colchester. This infamous lunatic asylum is now awaiting redevelopment. This image shows a mural regarding a "Farewell To Severalls". This was created by the ex staff of the site that returned to an open day on the 7th November 2013. They added their names to the painting as a nostalgic gesture.
