when my mom was younger she would go there to help wrap presents for the people there. her friends mom was an administrator i think. she said the people there were nice .
The "crown" is actually a coronet, and because he has eight strawberry leafs, it signifies the rank of earl. The specific features of different ranks of nobility are very particularly expressed in the varying coronets' design. Therefore, it is highly likely that there is an English Earl buried within this crypt.
I ADORED this place... I used to break in with tools and just WONDER at it! I loved the fact that it still had so many signs of function (notices on the wall, medical equipment, etc) and yet was totally derelict and structurally very dangerous in many places: I loved the crunch of broken glass under my feet and the sheer shock and awe of seeing a big space with the ceiling fallen in! I loved the fact that THIS WAS SOMEWHERE I COULD HIDE AND FANTASISE. IT WAS MY GAFF AND I LOVED IT AND I MISS IT AND I HAVE PLACED A CURSE ON THE FLATS THAT ARE RISING OBNOXIOUSLY IN ITS PLCAE! Mr Motts, I'd like to speak to you X
John, Lisa, Adam...Shame, shame, shame
You display such grotesque ignorance, and I hope you NEVER step foot on WSH grounds. You don't deserve to be there. What kind of person makes the comments you did...Hopeless.
Motts,
That would be a tire molding machine. It's used during the curing process. Bascially, they take the unformed tire and place it in the bottom portion of the mold. Next, an air bladder is placed inside the uncured, or green as it's called, tire. Then the top of the mold is set in place and the large cover door is closed. The air bladder that was placed inside is then filled with air forcing the uncured into the mold faces, thus giving it a tread pattern and any lettering that may be on the tire. This process would take about 15 minutes. This is a relatively old process as many tire now are injection molded.
