Don't think it's for sterilization folks.Although alot
of it is missing,it looks like a furnace for burning
med waste.Saw one just like it at Lawrence Memorial hospital.It's where the incinerated amputated limbs,tumors,and other med waste.
Just my 2 cents.
Hole for the Turbine and Generator.Motts,I wish I had seen this site when I was working @ Connecticut Yankee Atomic powerhouse decommisioning.My granddad was part of the new construction back in the 60's.He has photos of the Reactor vessel going up Ct river on a barge.I worked there off and on during shutdowns ,and for maintenence.Then,the decommisioning.I have photos (I didn't take 'em,they were given to me),of the Reator Vessel going down the river on a barge.It was
eerie.Something my granddad (deseased) and dad constructed,I was now tearing down.
I know MOST of the people from Norwich,when
the hospital was open,wanted it closed.The typical "Not in my backyard" attitude.They wanted
the insane taken care of,just not here.To them,if
the place was torn down,and rebuilt on,it would be fine.I'm kinda surprised the local Casino's haven't acquired the property,I do
know they tried very hard to get it for parking.
I worked here for a mechanical contractor in the
early 80's.They would release people from here
without them having anywhere to go.They would
walk to the city of Norwich,and the people in Norwich would be VERY unhappy.I think that had a major bearing on the place closing.I lived in the CITY of Norwich from 1962 to 2001.
This hallway leads to one of the courtyards where many of Byberry's famous BBQ's are held. There are grills scattered throughout. I've bonked my head of this piece of ceiling numerous times walking through here. It showers wonderfully itchy rust all over when disturbed. I'm usually watching the ground where I walk and have had many head-bonking experiences in these hallowed halls.
It is very sad, this was one of the original amusement parks in America. They just let it go... I also have that park layout burned in my brain too... Some of my best childhood memories are there...
