All lit by bare incandescent bulbs!

Ick!

What an awful ward this must have been with the poor ventilation.

Thanks psychadellic one! I think you answered Lynne questions (about my question) quite fully!

So, are there lamps inside those cans? Can you see where that central hood goes?

Interesting, the room has a string of construction lights strung along the ceiling..

I'm really astounded that the generators appear to not have been stripped for copper.

There are several pipes and valves that have been covered at one time when this was disassembled. Did they intend to put it back together? Was this after closure or the cause of the closure?

Interesting that there faceplate was removed.

I'm curious as to what precipitated the closure of this plant. Was it mere age (inefficient) or were there significant failures just around the corner. I see several places in the plant where covers to the firechests are removed, this isn't an asbestos abatement issue.

Somewhere in this building the cover to this boiler must be sitting.

You seem surprised that there are people here that are passionate about old buildings.....

You sure you're in with the right crowd here?

>Lyric: Water Pipes

Uhm yah, I can see the pipes. As I said,

Interesting tension braces and turnbuckles on the ceiling. What is so heavy above this room?

It's a shame about these houses. It's quite clear from the outside that there is severe water infiltration (The calcium deposits on the brick).

Noises in un-maintained structures are to be expected. With very few exceptions the sounds are easily explained away. The disused places I've been in whistle, creak, moan, crackle, pop, rattle and thunk. The number of times the air currents have slammed doors somewhere on me is too many to count on ones' hand. Bear in mind that if these were running buildings there would be hums, buzzes and other noises that would cover up the low level building "chatter".

Is the debris on the rooftops from the cupola brickwork breaking apart?

Andrew, it doesn't matter if the facility is abandoned; you have no right to trash it more than it has already been. Urban explorers may invade these places, but they should cause no harm while there. Damaging the buildings merely increases the likelihood that they will be torn down instead of restored. Breaking windows lets in even more water, which it should be obvious is not beneficial to the structure.

I wonder why it looks like two years later?

Somehow I doubt this is a licensed use of the characters.
