Thanks for the heads up Colin, however the photo Ian Ference took is his own; he did tell me in person that this photo inspired his.

It's part of a recessed cabinet, with a frosted glass window. There were no refrigeration units nearby, and I believe this room was located right off a main corridor on the first floor (morgues are often tucked away in a staff-controlled area of the hospital), so I think the room was used for general medical procedures.

Thanks for the update Terre, it's a shame more of the Kirkbride couldn't be preserved.

mr, yes I've been busted a couple of times, it's bound to happen.

Thanks Sean, no, permission to access these kinds of places are rarely doled out due to the dangerous conditions of the buildings, legal reasons, etc. Sneaking in does add a lot of excitement to the journey.

no, most were sealed up pretty well and there were no walkable steam tunnels that connected the buildings, unfortunately.

Carolyn - the building felt very solid, despite the amount of water seeping through the place. I almost wondered if concrete was used for the infrastructure, although this does seem to predate the building

nope they were screwed into the doors - I think they led out onto that nice porch in back

looks like the armature that opens a transom window above the door

didn't hear it, but who is to say what goes on in abandoned hospitals when no one is around...

most of the photos are at a pretty wide angle, as it was a bit cramped in there

yup everyone has misspelled it so far including me!

yes most of the interiors were shot with a 12-24 sigma wide angle lens.

There may have been another one in the other wing of the building, I can't quite remember.

Nope no evidence of a pipe organ here.
