MY GRANDPARENTS AND MY OTHER GRANDMA WORKED HERE FROM1930 TILL 1970. THEY WERE CARING PEOPLE AND STAYED DURING THE TYPHOID EPEDEMIC TO CARE FOR PATIENTS EVEN THOUGH THEY HAD CHILDREN AT HOME WHO NEEDED THEM. I KNOW THAT CARE DURING THOSE YEARS MAY HAVE BEEN CRUDE AT BEST BUT THEY GAVE THE BEST C ARE THEY COULD WITH WHAT THEY HAD. THANK YOU FOR THE PHOTOS THAT FOR THE FIRST TIME EVER GAVE ME A GLIMPSE INTO THE WORLD THEY WORKED IN. I DON'T REMEMBER WHICH COTTAGE THEY WORKED IN. THANK YOU AGAIN FOR THE PHOTOS AND DOCUMENTATION FOR THOSE OF US WHO CAME LATER.

to sweed:
yea those clouds are the Port Jeff smoke stacks

There was also a large recreation building south of the campus, but it was torn down back in the 70s. There was also a building for working patients, as well as a group of cottages for children. It's almost impossible to find pictures of these buildings, but Goddog has some great ones on his site: The Story of Byberry.

Haha I saw Radical Ed on a TV show called "Scared" at Byberry

I love looking at the old Byberry blueprints. Behind the stage there was a corridor leading back to some changing rooms and the chaplain's office.

lol those arent mixers, those are 50 gallon steam jacket kettles. They are huge double boilers used in industrial facilites to make things like soups or as previously stated, gruel.

very royal

it must smell real bad in there

looks like a crown is missing

Another beautiful gallery! Thank you Motts.

Damned if you do, and Damned if you don't.

Roll out the barrels, and we'll have a barrel of fun . . .

All this talk of beer is making me thirsty.

Keeps the zombies cool now.

Yes. I see that shadow. It is strange. It looks like the shaft of light is coming out from it.
