Dr Hills, the Thorpe Asylum and beyond 1861-1915.
Northside, St. Andrews Business Park, Norwich, Norfolk, NR7 0HT
Much of the former Norfolk County Asylum at Thorpe St Andrew has been converted to housing but retains many of its original features. It was built on two separate sites, divided by the Yarmouth Road, and the north side is now derelict. The walk will take in both parts of the site, crossing from one to the other via a bridge over the Yarmouth Road. People who come on the walk will hear about the history of the asylum and a number of case studies.
