I think it was shut down in the 80's. This is on an active hospital site, who pays the bill. The cost of running a few lights 24/7 is nothing compared to the bill for lighting the whole campus... although I do think it's strange that they didn't cut the juice.

Canon 300D Rebel.

That's right, metal sheets cannot shatter and be used as a weapon or for suicide attempts. The sheets might've distorted after they were drilled into the wall; one of those "it looked like a good idea on paper" kinda things.

I don't think so. As far as I know the place was a TB hospital then converted to a developmental center.

It looked like sheet metal wrapped around the pole. I know they sometimes plate doors and corners with metal near the floor where wheelchairs and gurneys are commonly used to prevent dammage, but this is strange.

I use both, this photo has mostly artificial light.

I'm not sure, it looked like an auditorium without a stage.

Chocobo, there are a few asylums in the UK that I hope to visit one day, I'm sure some have sortid pasts. Take a look at http://www.sub-urban.com they have some pretty cool stuff.

I walked down the hall while lighting it.

That sounds like a lot of trouble for you guys to go through, but I'm genuinely flattered by the idea!

I'm looking into a way of selling prints where I wouldn't have to print and ship them all myself (otherwise nothing would get done)... I just need to print some samples from them to make sure they look good enough, then code the links into this site. It's not quite a book, but it's something I could give in hard copy.

Funny, I just found a map of the place in my car this morning. It was labeled as a "couple's home" for the tuberculosis hospital, and also labeled as a ruin.

Ah, that's a shame...the school slated for demolition as well I suppose?

It used to be, it's a little tougher nowadays.

Five, I think. Some parts of the building have different numbers of floors, and it was built into a hillside, so it's a bit confusing.

Wow, cool thanks... I don't like asking for money unless I'm really in a pinch.

I wonder how many people would buy such a book though, I might end up with a thousand copies sitting in my closet. Maybe I'll make a poll or something...
