Thats alot of slides. I wonder what yrs they are? how old? Wow ....yeah, if they dropped to the floor it would be a mess. They might break as well since they are glass.

Thanks for all the photos & galleries Motts. I also love it when you post new/old ones. I try to check often too. I just love it how you post the history etc of these places. Some sites I've been to only have the photos but no info. Which does make it kinda boring really. Thanks for all the hard work!! : )

That is kinda strange....that they'd leave it behind.....yuck.....I agree really.

Good grief!
You're brave staying over night!
I live near here and when any child behaves badly, they're always threatened with being sent to Cherry Knowle!

The blue tile in the background still looks very nice ....at least these racks make sense now compared to the previous one. Much more sense. Nice shot Motts!!

It does look like blood doesn't it. It has to be rust though. I don't think the blood could stay that fresh for long? right. I would think it would've dried up in those tubes considering its been awhile since they've been used. I forget when did they stop using this place, Motts?

That does look kinda scary as well. If thats a test tube drying rack...than they'd have to be very large test tubes? Either way its still very scary looking. Ugh....IMO anyway......

I'd agree that platform is kinda strange. I also wouldn't want to see the spider from that web haning from the ceiling either. Ugh!!!!

So great to see a new gallery up!! Thanks Motts!!!

reminds me of the clown and whatever else they painted on the walls in pennhurst weird minds in charge of the institutions

LOL < < > >

The GK18 projector mechanism was made by the Kershaw Company in Leeds and was an improved version of the GK40, a machine that was produced for the Indian market during WW2 years at low cost and in a cheap crinckle/crackle finish. First used for gun training, it was not sold in the UK for use in cinemas, but used in mental hospitals by the newly formed NHS. With financial constraints, the installations consisted of only one machine with a second added in later years.
The reliability of the machine led the Rank Organisation to issue a low cost assembly designated as the GK18, the mechanism being a GK40 with improved gate and the whole finished in a mid stone hammer paint.

Silent Hill anyone? only thing missing is the static and the extra 'noise' in the photo. LOL Lovely as always Motts

I love all the creepier photos - maybe its just me. Though I have to agree with several comments on the bio-hazard nature of these samples lying around. To me anyway it would seem that someone somewhere may want to preserve these abandoned samples - and further study them. Probably not ALL of them but still I'm sure with today's medicine a lot could be learned by looking at even a small sampling of these 'waste' samples.

I am curious to find out regarding the bio-hazard issue, does anyone know - if after a certain period of time - any diseases present in tissue that is on already existing/prepared slides still would exist in the tissue on the slides; and the same ? for the samples in wax - would any pathogens survive that long of a time frame outside a controlled climate?

I want this washbasin!
