TheTimeChamber has been given permissions by the Peter Aitkenhead to publish these archives photos of the old Severalls Asylum. We are not entirely sure of the date of the photos, but we gather that they date back to the mid 1980’s. They provide a fascinating insight into a building that now stands as a grand apartment block, with a forgotten past.
