My favorite! Love the crackling paint, great shot!

The death of Marat

Motts, I hope you are well, eagerly awaiting your next gem you share with us all. Until then, take care.

Again, thanks for sharing this place with us all.

I found out that my great Aunt Mary Ann Smith (1861-1928) spent most of her life at this hospital and is buried there. My grandpa who died at 91 in 1984 never mentioned his aunt, perhaps did not know about her (they lived in different states). She is found in the 1900, 10, 20 census as a resident there. Very sad.

How is this even possible....someone has to be using that bathroom and cleaning it, right?

Use to work there has co

Emily, this building is likely gone now & Motts would never tell you anyway, plus it's against the the rules of the site to ask such info. Enjoy the galleries & the site.

What building is the morgue in..?

When places get abandonned, couldn't they just donate some of the good furniture to a local charity or school or something?! Feels like such a waste... looks cool though for sure

When my friends and I were very young kids, you used to be able to get through the wall of St Ebba’s and play in the field. We used to often talk to this man who stayed there who was called Elvis (he was obviously mentally unwell) but a lovely man. We obviously as well shouldn’t have been talking to random strange men at the age of 7 but we used to see him in there a lot so we would always say hi and sit with him for a while.
We would also walk into some of the abandoned blocks and have a look around. I can still see it so vividly in my mind, it was quite scary/creepy for young kids to be doing. But we lived exploring! I would love to of had photos of the rooms I went in. We saw some of the wards with old beds etc. Did you see any of this???
This would have been in the mid 90s for me!

totally looks like a person laying there. Very cool picture!

Normally I hate vandalism but this is a story, it holds emotion and it has meaning, it makes you feel something and think about yourself, this is much closer to art than vandalism

I LOVE the crackling paint(?) on the roof of this car.
