you are definately a great photographer

This is where the criminally insane and complete maniacs would spend there days, looking out a barred window, praying to be released

It could have been used as a comode or perhaps the chair was used as a form of restraint.

Our building regulations aren't so different that we put bolts on the wrong side of doors! The bolt does appear to have been there longer than the Toilets sign. Maybe a previous explorer found it and stuck it on the door?

I've neve seen this either. I wonder if building codes are different in the UK. I wonder if there was a lock on the inside.

I wonder if this was made from Tin or plaster...

Mr. Motts, will you teach me how to take pictures like this?

WOW!!!! Thats all I can say!

There's a few suitcase left in Cane Hill & other British places. From reading a former superintendant's account patients were almost banned from keeping much, even the more able ones weren't allowed any storage facilies on the grounds they would just hoard junk. This was changed in later years.

Some clowns have a strange screeching laugh that can be scary. I remember reading about someone Irish American who's parents banned them from going to a cirus because they considered clowns to be part of some ani-Irish propaganda.

I also noticed the Peanuts style of this.

Youtube had lots of old Sid Davis style information films from the time homosexuality was considered a desease. The seem too daft to take serious these days,

I've got Asperger syndrome & was interested to see a programme about Temple Grandin a while back. She nearly ended up being certified at a young age, which is fairly worring.

From Urbex & other British abandoned building sites the use of padded cells in the UK was mainly phased out in the 1960s due to the development of new medical treatment. There are one or two places that still had them when they closed.

Hey Donna! Keep checking back because occassionally we get people on here who are "authorities" on Pennhurst. I get tired of defending the place. If you have time check out the Pit of Oblivion picture and some of the bizaar comments that have been left. You'll need an aspirin if you get through them all.

Ohhh,Singer!
XD My,God I knew that name was familiar!
The president of the Singer Corp. Frederick Gilbert Bourne, had a Castle built on the St.Lawrence River,about a 30 min. drive from where I live;they've been renovating the castle for some time now and it's open to the public,but God a part of me wishes they'd just leave it alone XD It was amazing to go through it.

we went to this place monday april 16 at like 11:45 and we were going to go in and film some shit. we didnt even get all the way in when we heard strange voices askin us to come in and stay, i thought i saw what looked like dark figure of a man. we just bolted from there,so freaked out it was crazy.
