• Where the asylums were: the rise, fall and afterlife of Britain’s county asylums

  

  I mapped 233 of Britain’s asylums and psychiatric hospitals from Wikipedia. Most were built between 1845 and 1914, almost none closed until the 1980s, and of the closed sites whose fate is known, 66% are now homes.
