in regards to like security, there really is none. you are allowed to go in the buildings as long as you dont have like bags of crap that look suspicious [ie. spraypaint, lighter fluid and DUMB SHIT!]

and wow this is the first ive heard of all these freaky tales. whenever i go to places i often get this AURA of whether theyre good or bad and letchworth has always seemed to docile to me. nothing too bad

but id love to hear some scary stories if anyone has any =]

..exit...stage left...

Im wondering why it's in English and Spanish....

from the 1910s... maybe it contains Spanish Flu.

Ha! I kill me!

I'm looking at this building on Google Earth, and correlating it to your pics, and it's bloody trippy mate.... I have to say, this is one hellova long impressive walkway, isn't it!

Once again as seen and correct credit goes to Stymie this time for stating the obvious... The Star of David is in the window in the middle of the ceiling anyone to over look that is blind, sense the begining of alchemy and astrology the first 2 original studies/religious followings dated back way before christianity the Star of David was also know as the Philosophers Pentagram and served as an ultimate form of truth, It in geometry = 360 degrees with both triangles and serves as a branching point between heaven and hell the upward triangle shows the path to heaven as the downward to hell not to mention symbolism is used in many and all religious groups from the esoteric religions to modernized spin offs and elaboratized theories of what may be... One thing is for sure the True Kabbalah is in effect which would mean this would have to be a certain type of freemason group if any, Try looking up the Rosicrusians And The Order Of The Knights Of Templar much more Freemason groups exist but are very misunderstood, Freemasonry can be viewed in many ways as the archetect building a path to heaven or even hell, try if you will imagining the cuts of the plywood the measurements the amounts of product used the amount of money spent on the project the hight of the building the size of it all to be like the equivalent of an alchemical equasion or in a sense like a math problem that answers all or it's self... That takes a Philisophical mind to comprehend but I threw the idea out there for you... Anyone slightly interested. need only contact me at FeelingNothing@aol.com With a propper e-mail description so it actually gets opened... Thanks for your time people...

Looks like a freaky face...

the antenna are the eyebrows, the yellow spots on the wings are eyes, the body is the nose, the purple part is a big fluffy mo' with a whole load of white teeth underneath.

Maybe I should start drinking decaf......

Lets put it this way Czar is correct, the Star of David is in the window in the middle of the ceiling anyone to over look that is blind, sense the begining of alchemy and astrology the first 2 original studies/religious followings dated back way before christianity the Star of David was also know as the Philosophers Pentagram and served as an ultimate form of truth, It in geometry = 360 degrees with both triangles and serves as a branching point between heaven and hell the upward triangle shows the path to heaven as the downward to hell not to mention symbolism is used in many and all religious groups from the esoteric religions to modernized spin offs and elaboratized theories of what may be...

I think this may be the blind unit where patients did have their own rooms

Can't believe this.
This is taken from ward 14 where I worked 1978 - 81 looking down to the 11s block I think.
thanks for these photos - so sad to see the ruins.

I worked here nearly 30 years ago . Had to take patients to a dance here every week - foxtrot, quick step etc - It was the worst part of the job for me I hated it. There was also films shown here as well which wqas great - getting paid to watch films,

Just found this site - can' believe it - I worked here nearly thirty years ago . This was on the blind unit and was to stop patients bumping in to the pole. There were also strings across to other poles to help them move about the ward.

That's really good architectural terra cotta. I'm surprised it's still there in such good condition.

It's the design of the toilet....rather than have the water flow come from top or back, there is a large outlet for the flush to come from the front...supposedly more efficient for flushing...common on institutional commodes where you had a good deal of water pressure and didn't have to worry about the vagaries of gravity fed systems. Hey, lookie me, I am the Lynne of bathroom fixtures! (No offense meant, Lynne).

I have to admit, not knowing any of the history of the place....I like the external architecture. In a metropolitan area, it probably would have been turned into condo lofts....Could you imagine?

That's a lovely large organ you got there, Motts.
