The Sun Room

The Sun Room

Yet another Abandoned Asylum explore. This is Deva Asylum’s Sun Room where patients would probably come and sit, chillout and have a nice cup of tea. Unfortunately the diggers and bulldozers are ripping this beautiful place down very quickly. Why no preservation order?? :-(

History
Deva Asylum lies in the grounds of the very active Countess Of Chester Hospital in Chester, the asylum was built in 1827 and opened in 1829, its original name was The Cheshire County Lunatic Asylum.
Through out the years the asylum changed its name and in 1953 it was renamed Deva until 1984 when it was once again renamed to The Countess Of Chester a name which it still goes by today.
Originally the asylum was meant to house upto 500 patients but over the years it expanded as did new wings and annexes until it could finally house over 1500 patients.
