That is the redlight district. What an odd place to run such a business. It shows how times change places.

The Freedom Bar you linked to is actually THE gay bar in London.

"Yet another subsidiary of Gaumont British was G.B-Kalee
Ltd which among other activities marketed general cinema supplies. In 1947
British Optical & Precision EngineersLtd was formed as a public company, and
was subsequently re-named Rank Precision Industries Ltd. It acquired the
businesses of British Acoustic Films Ltd and G.B-Kalee Ltd "

"Gaumont-Kalee Equipment chosen for London Premiere. British premiere of Michael Todd's mammoth film "Around the World in 80 Days", at the Astoria, Charing Cross Road, London, on Tuesday last week, was in a new system of presentation, called Cinestage, which has been evolved by technical experts in co-operation with Mr. Todd and, in addition to the installation of special projection equipment, involved one of the most comprehensive sound installations ever built in Great Britain"

Rapunzel's Wish, being a big disneyland and old disney animation fan, this looked familiar to me too. You can see how similar the texture is.

I really enjoy this shot. You can see the levels of deterioration. Thank you for the history of the room as well.

I am really enjoying your use of color in these shots Motts. It is a nice addition to your "toolbox"

Remnants is right. What a fantastic shot.

This is by far my favorite of the gallery. I really appreciate this series after several viewings. Great job Motts, Candace and Dash.

This is one of those pictures that grabs me, like the vines, and won't let go.

Motts, you do not want us to ever leave your site do you? Dang it, I have work to do...well I guess it can wait.

TIme to look at the picture some more, and travel to the asylum

You would have had to post pics when I'm under an extreme timeline wouldn't 'cha?

In all seriousness, I love your stairway photographs, and outside of the angels climbing up to "Hell" this is my favorite of yours.

I have seen those many times with televisions on top of them. It prevents the clients from being able to hurt themselves or the television.

It would also help relax some patients because of the lack of stimulii on the walls.

This photo is full of contradictions. The bathtub in the middle of the red do not cross type line, smoke damage in a room which usage is water based..I really like this one Motts.

So English, I'm waiting for Bert from Mary Poppins to come out of the chimney.

MaxiForm still makes sheet folding equipment in Europe, so I am guessing that this is something similiar.

That one door appears white and has a window opening. Motts, may I ask if that entire side was that way, or is it perhaps a utlility or bathroom?

I have a feeling I will be falling asleep tonight thinking about putting things in this room back in place.
