Wonderful shot! Look at 'em all, lined up like soldiers!

The oldest parts of the hospital date back to the erly 1800's alot of the electrical fixtures were added in as "after thoughts" when electricity was discovered and comercialised.

Besides, the really sick/dangerous patients wern't kept on the main floors. They were kept in the tunnels and basement security areas.

Theres that lovely green color again.

Yeah it does Kabakov!

Whoa, you sure wouldn't catch ME up on that ladder......

Once again I say how I wish I could have seen this place in it's prime......

Yes the colours are amazing in this one!

I was going to say that! I love symmetry! :0)

wow, that is crazy, look at all the engines that were wasted, do you think that they will recycle these??

Boy the angle you took this one with really shows the massiveness of these things! Would those hoses be air compression hoses?

P.S.- it's supposed to be BRI for the above post...whoops! I got too excited!

motts, is it true that they were going to salvage part of the building, or do I have my info wrong????

Hey twug, my grandmother was a nurse there (FSH) for 30 odd years.

She had plenty of stories to tell. Lots of wierd stuff. From the mid 50's to the early 70's some REALLY twisted people were kept there.

Later in the late 70's all the dangerous patients were transfered to Taunton State Hospital. Then in the early 80's when I worked there, it was all mentally handicapped patients (Downs Syndrome).

Another great find Motts!

Exactly, Ragdolledwahine!

Motts a question for you, what were the platforms used for???? to oversea production???

Motts, I love it when you have before and after pics, it just brings the place back to life, amazing......
