Thanks Ben, do you know if the present day Pilgrim Psychiatric Centre and this building are one of the same as photos of Pilgrim Psychiatic Centre appear similar.
Old psychiatric hospitals here in Scotland look nothing like the old Pilgrim
The fact that you can actually see the photocrapher's reflection in the before- picture freaks me out the most...O_o But at the same time I'm greately facinated of the after-pic...These are just gourgeus photos you take Motts!
Reminds me of the movie Oscar and Lucinda when Ralph Fiennes dies in a glass house that has been hauled up the river. Does anyone remember that scene or the move? Beautiful picture.
Bathrooms are very dangerous in psych Hospitals,even today. While staff attempt to give privacy it also is an opportunity for patients to attempt to harm themselves. Many suicides in psych hospitals happen in bathrooms. This room having the two windows may not have been an asset. Psychotic patients many times need the decreased stimulation. Just imagine if you felt someone was coming to get you through not one but two windows.
I do not believe that stealing things from abandoned buildings is wrong. If you try to get the stuff as while they are renovating, some dumb security guard or worker on a power trip with nothing better to do tells you to get out of the dumpster because "Its just not allowed" or "Because you'll get hurt and sue us"
I have worked in a few kitchens, I hated these things. The school I used to cook at had these kettles and we cooked spaghetti in them, you had to stir the pasta with a steel paddle, it looks just like a canoe paddle only made of steel.
Let me tell you it wasn't an easy task, especially when you are only five feet tall!
Gezal, your friend did what I have always dreamed of doing, shooting out the front of a tv!!. I have always wanted to hurl a brick through the front of one too, as far as I"m concerned it's the best thing you could do with a tv. But then I'm mad as a lampshade so what do I know :/
