As part of the 175th year celebrations of the coming of the railway to Haywards Heath, local author and former nurse at the hospital, Joe Hughes continued the Victorian flavour of the weekend by bringing alive the life and times of the former hospital and the fate of the mentally ill back then.
With real hopes for a local museum bringing the hospital and its history to life, Joe says: “The walk was hugely enjoyed showing the great interest in mental health and its history.
