The Epsom Cluster, also referred to as the Horton Estate, was a cluster or group of five large psychiatric hospitals situated on land to the west of Epsom.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=The Horton Estate, Epsom Cluster, Epsom )〕 The hospitals were built owned and managed by the London County Council〔 to alleviate pressure on London's existing lunatic asylums, which had by this time become overcrowded. The cluster comprised: *Horton Hospital *Long Grove Hospital *Manor Hospital *St Ebba's Hospital *West Park Hospital The Horton Light Railway transported building supplies and then coal and provisions to the hospitals in the cluster. The cluster was served by a central cemetery on the corner of Hook Road and Horton Lane until 1955〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Horton Cemetery )〕 and a central waterworks and power station until the arrival of mains services.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Lost Hospitals of London )〕 ==Present day== As of 2011, much of the estate had been redeveloped as housing including most of The Manor and Horton and all of Long Grove. NHS psychiatric units remained operational at St. Ebba's, Horton Haven, West Park and the Manor while redundant areas at West Park, St. Ebba's and Horton were undergoing redevelopment.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Epsom Clusters )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=West Park Hospital )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Epsom Cluster」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
