Mr. Motts, Please tell me they aren't going to distroy this one also???? like St. Mragarets Hosp. Is just tearing me up. Wouldn't you like to see the Hanging Gardens of Babalyon, The Colssus at Rhodes and the rest that are gone??? I'd even like to see the nose back on the Sphinx. What is wrong with people???

OHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!! Mr. Motts, this is calendar material.

I feel there was something more than just another window in the middle. Something more, like a door to a balcony maybe. Maybe I.m wrong????

Twug, what awe inspireing words. Adds so much to the photo!!!!!! Perfect reflection on a beautiful photo!!!!!Thank You!!!!! I feel compelled to genuflecy and make the SIGN OF THE CROSS.

What windows!!!!! They just don't make windows like that anymore!!!!!!!!

I agree, It looks like an archaeological dig to me.

This is great..The lighting is perfect and it feels like I could just reach out and touch the bricks. Mother nature has added a hint of foliage to top it off. Perfect, and no graffiti. I love it.

So, some housing project is going there, For the ELITE? You've got to save this place. We've stopped things like this in the US but you've got to get the right people behind you. I just can't believe that some sort of Historical Society isn't fighting this. I'm sorry, I may get banned from this site because I may be causing an Insurrection here but I've just got to say my feelings. I'd get some big names behind me and I'd fight it. I'd end up seeing the Prince, or I'd die trying. I've got too much of that Irish Blood running through my veins. But, I'm still an American (remember the TEA PARTY)????

WOW very amazing, I wish I could have been in that room to see all of that

My brother died in that hospital in 1982 and I have some trouble giving a damn about the architecture. I remember several turds who called themselves doctors ignoring my brother's basic needs because he didn't feel anything since he was retarded! One turd of a doctor actually verbalized that kind thought to my father. But I will give credit to one real doctor who did his best to make my brother comfortable during his last days on earth. And that kind man did his best to comfort my family.

On Saturdays when my family visited my brother who remained institutionalized from 1952 until his death in 1982, I remember going to that general store in Thiels and reading as many comics as we could get away with before laying our 12 cents down for 1 comic when the owner got annoyed with us. A very patient man really!

I'm telling you. This is a National Treasure. I don't live in the UK but, don't you have some kind of Historical Society that could save this place and restore it?? HIT UP THE PRINCE!!!!!

Last comment is mine but I want to add what dredged up memories of Letchworth. Ran into a man named Alvin yesterday who was institutionalized at Letchworth from the age of 7 to age of 22. It's criminal that his youth was spent there. Somehow a man who never should have been institutionalized was and no one did much about it.

Every saturday for years starting in 1952 my family came to Letchworth to see and visit with my brother Nick who was institutionalized. I remember the sadness and the dreariness but I also remember walking thru the fall leaves with my sisters and walking on the ice at the lake near the hospital. My mom is surprised that the 3 of us could have pleasant memories as well as the darker memories of Letchworth.

It's STILL BEAUTIFUL!!!!!!!
