The "To Let" sign on the Cassel Hospital marks the end of an era. The building has had many uses in its history and now its days as a hospital appear to be over. I am not sure who will take the building on in its current configuration but I suspect that its ultimate destiny will be as part of a major housing development.
Whatever happens next the end of the hospital means the end of the little features that mark it as thus. Features like this notice.
I had nowhere to live , my Mums brains were being fried in a nuthouse in Epsom Ewell , my Dad had died building Hurricanes & Harriers 3 years earlier , my Uncle James Entwistle had turned up @ the flat I'd lived in all my life & virtually said FO , my GP suggested the Cassel !

ReplyDeleteWas here in late 1960s.... myself, husband and 2 children. I have always regarded myself as lucky to have been referred there....after a difficult and troubled childhood and lack of good role models I learnt, to a certain extent, how to identify behaviour patterns which were making my life and that of my family, difficult and to take action to change them.
