Lynne, I look forward to your comments the most! :-)

Ed,
there was goodies to be found in some of those corner stones at Byberry thought..... right?

Okay, before I allow my goosebumps to get goosebumps..... Is it a friend of yours standing in the doorway????

First, Im curious, what was the "TA" class?
I saw the news expose' - Suffer the Children - done about Pennhurst , I tend to think conditions could have been better much better in there. I do agree on the short handed staff issue and can understand how the state workes. I worked for the state in a State Hospital for over 20 years and they did want out of the Hospital Business for sure, but, I believe there were abuses going on in Pennhurst whether they were intentional or not - I do not know.....
Very sad picture no matter what the circumstances....

Damn...I keep going back to this picture because it just unnerves me (must be too many sci-fi flicks)

I can see this as a mass murdere comes up behind someone, grabs 'em and starting up this machine large evil foul crunching sounds..throws the victim in between the rollers....slowly from the feet up......

ACK!!!!!!

Yo! Rock on Ed! ;-)

that finger!!

nah, thats the light coming in through the last window at the end.

Motts, were you able to go inside?

This picture reminded me of the origin of the Term "Kicked the Bucket"
In the old days in England, when one was in jail, it was literally a cage of iron bars and you were given a bed of straw and a bucket . The bucket was where you ate / drank from and (believe it or not) was also your toilet. Prisoners were often forgotten about and left to starve. Obviously conditions were bad and many committed suicide by tieing a piece of clothing to the top bar and placing it around their neck,, standing on the bucket and then kicking it out from under themselves... Hence the term - He kicked the Bucket. (sorry, couldnt resist telling it given the picture)

The basement looks like a pretty scary place to visit. I think it's probably haunted!

no doubt an interesting picture... thats my fav part bout exploring.. when u get to see something and try to imagine what it was like back when it wasnt abandon... almost as if your in a forgotten world

Daym! thats old!

Motts, what are those rolled up things on the floor?Are they asbestos tubes?

wow, what a mess. Im surprised no one thought to dispose of the syringes and Mercury kind of dangerous leaving that stuff behind...
