Love them hallway shots!

Whoa! The angle is great! It feels like it is collapsing!

Oh boy! More pix! :-)

The Abandoned places have a inner soul and the people that destroy that or desecrate it tell's you allot of how they feel about their own lives ..

Actually, this hallway doesnt look half bad, if it werent for that stuff on the floor, it might look like its still in use.
very nice lighting in this picture.

It was more like know your self

The pentagram is the traditional pentagram with five points of the star - one point up and two down, enclosed in a circle. This style of the pentagram, has existed and been used for thousands of years. The first records of it's use is dating back 5500 years, and was used in the ancient Mesopotamia, where it was used by the rulers, as a symbol of power and energy in the stasis of the four corners of the world known by then.
The early Greeks imported the pentagram for several uses. First of all the Mesopotamian community was well organized, strong and an envy to the Greeks. So to gather some of the powers within the Mesopotamian society, the Greeks used the pentagram.

Responses show what sad lives the individuals who desecrate this abandoned hospital have.

These photos are amazing! My grandparents used to take me and my siblings and cousins here as little kids and I have so many memories of the place. I have pictures at home too! So it's interesting to see how it looks now. I wish it were still open!

Interesting posy chair ...it was used to restrain patients

So sad....boo-fuckin'-hoo.

Desecration. That is the correct word! Byberry has truly been desecrated. It seems by people that have nothing better to do, or nowhere else to go. Sad lives.

This is an adapted prone cart for someone with severe contractures. For people whose bodies are stiff and don't bend easily, you will sometimes have to take a standard prone cart, gurney, or wheelchair and adapt it (which is why this particular one looks home made). Prone carts are normally used for people in the (duh) prone position, but there are some people who normally lie flat on their back but who can sit up some, and this is good because you want to relieve pressure when you can so as not to cause pressure sores. With this particular device you can put the back up so the person can be seated as much as their contractures will allow, and when they need to lie back, it folds down. You can see the push handle at the top that is used to push the cart/chair/bed when it is flat. There are still devices similar to this in use today in many places. I can't find a picture of one on the web that looks like this one, mostly because the ones I have seen like this were made by the local rehab engineer in his/her lab on grounds. However, it is the same idea as is used on this patented convertible gurney:

Here are some power and some manual prone carts/gurneys:
