you never fail to amaze me. also i too have grown attached to the smell of abandoned buildings....but only from exploring abandoned houses nothing cool like hospitals.

ooooh i want to see whats behind the door so badly!

my dear motts this is absolutely breathtaking!

i really kinda want that rug....

we have found a way few ways in and you have to be really careful no matter how you go in .i have been here over 30 times and only once were there when there were a few other people on the grounds ,we heard them and hid till they were gone .but that was the only time .this building has to be the 2nd scairest on the grounds the worst on is whitman hall ,we had alot of activity there already and it is really creepy .

So interesting JOAN ! Members of your whole family worked here. Do you still work in the medical field? Its such ashame this auditorium is no longer in use, Thanks for your input.

The phone number on the container has area code 0442 - that is Hemel Hempstead. All UK area codes had a 1 inserted between the 0 and th enext number several years ago. Hemel is now 01442.

THIS BUILDING IS BY FAR THE CREEPIEST ONE OF ALL BESIDES THE ADMINISTRATION BUILDING ,THE HAIR ON MY NECK STOOD UP ,I NEVER FELT THAT UNEASY FEELING IN ANY OTHER BUILDING ,I WENT IN IT ONCE AFTER THAT AND I COULD NOT BRING MYSELF TO GO IN AGAIN AND NOW IT IS ALL BOARDED UP.WE HAD CREEPY EXPERENCES HERE

I HAVE BEEN IN THIS ROOM BEFORE THEY CLOSED IT ALL UP AND TALK ABOUT SAD !! IT IS TEARFUL I LEFT CRYING ,,I THOUGHT OF ALL THOSE CHILDREN THAT WERE HURT OR ABUSED IN THAT AREA .

THIS IS SUCH A SAD PLACE TO GO AND SEE !! I HAVE BEEN HERE AT LEAST 30 TIMES IN THE PAST YEAR ,I AM OBSESSED WITH IT AND THE HISTORY ,I READ ALL I CAN AND RESERCH IT .

Offensive, but admittedly humorous.

Great gallery as always Motts......I'd love a book too of your work....I hope someday you get to do a book.......on to the next gallery of pics.....Thanks Motts!!!!!!!!!! : )

The picture before this was creepy but the words are even creepier.....interesting & strange all at the sametime.

Looks like "Silent Hill" both the movie and the video game !!!Great shots-

I worked in the kitchen and food service section of this hospital in 1965 to 1969- after school. I mostly worked in Bldg 7, 21, and 22- but when someone called out in other bldgs we were sent there to help- everyone hated Bldg 4- scary people worked there and it was max security for violent patients- every ward had its own cafeteria to serve the patients- and every one had patients that prety much ran the machines. All I had to do was serve the food and some had life time patients that did that also-you brought the cart up, set it up and sat down and waited most of the time. Beat working after school at some pizza parlor or babaysitting.
