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.

So close, yet so far. haha

Actually, when blood is drawn for testing, you'll notice that there's a certain amount of fluid in the bottom of the tube to begin with.
That's an anticoagulant, to keep the blood from clotting within 30 minutes like it usually does.
However, it is highly unlikely that the blood was there from before this place was closed.

I'd put my money on N-10, I believe it's the only one with the curved hallway crossing the back section. That, and the exit signs that stick out from the wall rather than flush-mounted. Byberry is definately a unique place. I hope it stands for years to come.

What's interesting is that in recent studies involving color and emotional stimulation that have been done in prisons, pink has been flagged as one of the colors that creates a far more agressive/violent atmosphere.

It's th only "real" graffitti I've ever done.
I usually disdain this sort of behavior.

Well...she's certainly lost her head!
