And for those over the pond, Avery as a company is still thriving by the name of Avery Berkel.

The scales wer prob left for the looters to weigh their scoof!!!!

Can you imagine how much the place cost to run on heating alone, not to mention the upkeep of such an old building???? Best thing the tories did was close all them places down, saves the tax payers a fortune!!! (Those who pay tax anyhow). Shame it wasn`t turned into something else though, was a nice building in it`s day.

looks like a shadow of someone in the doorway if u look at the floor..first door on left

my brother went this past weekend & he said the 666 numbers were missing.. he wanted his pictures taken by it.. who would steal theres? seriously? lame-o

i was a patient on Arenig ward and others too i was so ill at the time,it was a great help to me then but not the several doses of ECT;;;;;;;. i would never want to enter such a place EVER again, when i was taken there after closure,i cried about what i had gone through as a patient at that time, but it,s very sad to see the building in such a state these days , i blame the tories for this,,,,, and people want them back ??????

Stunning, really pretty shot.

I think if this house was like the house in "Burnt Offerings", it could save itself.
I can hear Karen Black now, "I've been waiting for you Ben"!

Wonderful gallery, albeit a little sad and even a bit frightening for me. I live in RI, and my parents used to take me here when I was little. To see what people have done to it is heartbreaking, to say the least. And very haunting to know that I rode on that carousel at one point...

ii was a patient at this hospital in 1964-65 alot of the people were holucost suvivors. i saw #s tatooed on their arms. 93 was for uncontrolled people. it was like hell if you were locked up! if you had a day pass it was like a country club.

My nephew was an extra on that movie shoot and he loved the feel of this building.

sometimes i'd like to shoot spelling rays at certain people...

ohhalyssa, you can LIVE there if you have the money. It's condominiums and apartments now. :(

dme, thank you for all your comments. I love to read the true stories in the comment section, but the ijits who disrespect are always a pain. You and Lynne and some informed others are always a refreshing presence to balance the... ahem, pardon my pun... insanity.

Love your work, as always, Motts. And I was thinking... it must have taken a LOT of work to brick up all those windows, including all the ones in the Kirk, just to have it all torn down.

Dude, i took that same exact pic when i was there

This is one of my favorite shots on this entire site. The sky's color is remarkable!
