It is still standing, as of today. I wanted to get over to it, but too much traffic. Had to settle for pics from the gate.

I looked at these pictures a few years ago and got chill, now coming back to them brings the chills right back. Excellent stuff here.

These photos were taken in the oldest part of the hospital, a neo-classical building constructed in the mid-1800s. It was behind a very tall black fence on the north side of the campus. Not sure when you were last there, but the building was mostly torn down in 2009; there's just a grassy field back there now.

I have come to this site regularly for years. This picture made me want to say "Thank you for all the great Photos over the years, and the history write ups for each location."

Very beginning of Phantom of the opera. Problem with a piano in this type of situation is with the sound(ing) board. At this point it is warped from the water and probably broken from the fall when the orchestra pit collapsed. The ivories still look good and might be salvageable. Piano repair people declare them DOA when the sounding board is damaged. So I am just going to think of it as a cheap piano that was damaged before it was abandoned. Denial is good.

I would love to know where in the world you shot these pics I was a patient in Tauton state hospital a few years ago with free range of the grounds at the end and never saw anything like this

Cragside.

Enjoy the arrow, very much, is a neon sign,lighted,perhaps. Have not visit Opacity, and remember the name"Motts"-site has come a long way, from one Photog to another

Work like this was called taking pride in your work/craft. Gone these days.

You wouldn't find that tile in Home Depot. Such great detail and craftsmanship. A by-gone era.

Torn down?! How could they let this beauty that will never be again so to waste? Such a shame.

I love the pumps on either side of the pipes along with the monster valving required to control the flow of coolant/condensate.

Wow, what a shot!

Outstanding. As is always the case with these industrial sites, "wish I could hear it run!"
