I have only drove by the place when I was younger never had a chance to attempt exploring the place, but a good friend of mine told me the guard let him and some other people look in the windows of the crematorium. But it was at least 8 years ago that he had told me about it. I also remember him saying something about tunnels or sewers near a water tower that people went in, near there does anyone know anything about that.

My Grandmom also told me a story about how she worked in old Byberry as a nurse, I'd say probably in the 20s and one night there was a patient revolt and she had to lock herself in a supply closet.
Also was in, at least I think it was this one, auditorium and we found old bits of costumes. Bowties and other odds and ends. My cousin also found a book that contained patient names,, diagnoses, meds, ages, Dr. names.
Can't believe this place is gone. It was there my whole life....

I have been surfing around byberry sites for hours now and these pics are awesome. I grew up close enought to Byberry that they used to tell us not to go in the woods near Nottingham because some of the released patients lived back there.

I just want to agree with one of the above commentors about why is it that we destroy these historic buildings rather than renovate them. It is such a waste.

I love this color pink. I have it in one of my upstairs rooms. And the light too...just a nice touch. Even with the decay, there is still something very touching, alive.

Probably the top shelves were used for body parts

I grew up in a house, that had the same looking stair case! It was a beach house! It is sad to see the decay in this hospital. At the same time it is very creepy. Was wondering if any one had visited Waverly Hills, and or Essex mountain Sanatorium?? It makes you wonder what was going threw the doctors and nurses minds!!!
