So, if cold blast furnaces were generally obsolete by the early 1900s, I guess this particular control box-thingie is even older than the majority of abandoned equipment at this site overall? The furnace it is tied to must have been out of use for decades before the rest of the plant ceased operating.

Outstanding shot!

Hard to imagine something that could produce such incredible, intense heat is now so utterly cold and deathly silent. Awesome!

Thanks, yes a flashlight was used in this very dark space.

When patients would exhibit violent tendencies (eg. hurting themselves or others), staying in this room for a few hours alone would be a way for them to "cool off" without being agitated by anyone.

Amazing shot. Wonder what would happen if you sat down on it .. or perhaps I don't want to know ..

It really makes you think about decay and time. The desk I'm sitting at will eventually crumble. The legs on the chair (!) I'm sitting on will rust. The homework next to me will soften and turn yellow. I too, will decay.

It's been gone for almost five years now...

i'm not sure where this information is coming from, but i live in that area and the rounded out building was used for training nurses in the early 1910's. they are going to restore that building now i think. as for the big square building next to it, it used to be a hospital until the late 80's i think. suprisingly, there was actually a guy recently who got busted for renting the rooms out to people illegally because this building was abandoned by the city. i tried to go in and explore, but the lights were all on and there was a guy at the front desk. i guess he's on trial now. there have been many deals made to convert that hospital, but they all fell through. mostly because it's very hard to convert one bedroom hospital rooms into condos, etc

There is SO MUCH METAL everywhere! Where I come from all this would have been stolen years ago!

looks like the one's we had in hospital as a kid

now that is rare in the uk,to see MADE IN ENGLAND stamped on our goods!!

very 60's britain!

it's the exit sign. for some reason in wales they have their signs in cymru (with an english translation) even though most welsh people have no idea how to speak it!
