Severalls Hospital Water Tower, Colchester

These old asylums have always interested me, and these days they really are far and in between. The days of the huge sprawling asylums where you can run around for explore for days on end are coming to an end sadly. This means that whenever I get the chance to explore one, I make the most of it and like to see as much of it as I possibly can. One part of an asylum that has to be my favourite is the water tower. Most have them, and they sit there towering above the rest of the site – visible for miles. I just love that.
