Cane Hill was the Third Surrey County Pauper Lunatic Asylum, necessitated after the Springfield (1842) and Brookwood (1862) asylums were filled to capacity. Surrey Council (charged with the provision of care for the insane under the 1845 asylum act) therefore re-employed the architect of Brookwood, Charles Henry Howell, to design and build the new asylum, which would be sited on a hilltop overlooking Coulsdon and the Farthing Downs.
By this time Howell was the principle asylum architect in England and an advisor for the Commission of Lunacy. Cane Hill was therefore designed by a master architect, built to high standards and became a show piece and the largest building of its type in the UK.
The asylum was completed in 1882 and represented the final say in “radiating ward asylums” – the pavilion blocks comprising the wards were linked to an internal horseshoe shaped corridor. The hospital was divided into female and male halves, the vertical symmetry being cut along its centre by the administration block, a Chapel, a large recreation and dining hall, kitchens, stores and laundry (with drying grounds at the back of the structure). A large water tower provided the necessary pressure for a building of its immensity, around which were clustered stores, maintenance and ancillary buildings.

Entry to the site was lawfully gained and the sites health and safety rules were followed.
Built in 1882 it closed in 1997 and now in 2009 being demolished. The perimeter is secured by a fence and security gaurds so the pictures have been taken from ouside the fence. By looking on You Tube you will be able to see photographs taken by others of the inside of this huge amalamation of buildings.

Lean in close and speak to me low
Tell me things you want me to know
'Cause i want to be the one
You need to
Lean to
Speak to me low
Regretful it's the time of year for letting go
Wasting all my time 'cause you just tease me
Please leave me alone
Scared of the feeling of you coming home
I'm leaning out the open windows
Looking into the alley below
Rooftops black and the moon's hanging low
And the telephone wires
That carry the sound
Stretch across the sky
And under the ground
And i will be here
When you come back
And speak to me low
Speak to me low
I'll pretend that
It's okay
We'll just be friends
So the wires say
But i will be here
When you come back
And speak to me low
Speak to me low

I realised over the last few days that I hadn't actually made a piece of jewellery in months! Totally weird...
I had this gorgeous large Smokey Quartz briolette, that needed a decent setting, and the designs kind of called to me. Before I knew it, I was sculpting in silver clay again
The fine silver "frame" is embellished with a sterling silver wire sculpture.I love combining the two effects. I have tried this out before, but I'm getting better at it :)
Hope you love this piece as much as I do!
