Part of the development of homes at the former Whittingham Mental Asylum have been named.

Two soldiers who fought in the First World War and were treated at the mental hospital are to be remembered with roads in their honour.

Tattersall Road and Joyce Road will feature in the development.

It was such a beautiful building. I'm glad I got to see it when I did.

Ahh, quiet time and a new gallery. Thank You, Mr Mott's!

A safe way for the staff to clean up congealed blood, secretions, human waste. Not anything more than a living person would "flush".

I think the disposal is there to take care of any final secretions/stool the patient may have had after death. It would make sense that the mortuary team had a safe way to dispose of waste in a safe hygienic manner that protects the staff. I seriously doubt any human tissue other than waste was flushed down the drain.

I would hate to be the window cleaner for that place, haha!

What an amazing building! It almost doesn't look real.

Ahhh duct work - ok, yeah, i see the chase, were wishing A Lamp, hahaha
- Thanks flushed.
- naw - probably + very likely, goes through garbage disposal grinder and out........OR to a special catchment - like a container cistern hold???? Hmmmmm.....

looks like a field of canola or mustard in bloom.

The square grate looks to be an outlet for duct work. Notice the chase running up the wall above it.
The machine under the sink drain looks like a more industrial form of what is called a "garbage disposal" in the home. In the home it is meant to grind up the bits that plug regular drains and you can even run the peelings from veggies through it. As has been mentioned I cannot imagine they are letting pieces of cadaver get in it but you never know. If they are where does it drain to? They would have to have some special catchment for the human remains.

Contraption device underneath - what is it?
The square with a grating - is it A Lamp?
