What happened to the radiator?

Grifspop, are you trying to summon Lynne?

I agree Pete. Motts, the cheapeast and most exciting way to get over there is by rowboat. June or July.

Working with an agency for almost 8 years I have learned so much. Here we have restraint methods that have to be carefully taught and practiced. We also have rooms with blue padded matts in them. And yes these rooms have certain specifications like no locks and a window to see the behavioral client. They can be left in there for as long as needed but must be asked as to their specific bahavior plan if they are ok. Trust me when someone is in a 4 person supine resraint then need time to cool off. Great picks. Some of the pictures help me to understand where the clients I take care of come from. What a wonderful life they live now.

Has anyone read Nellie Bly's "10 Days in a Mad House"? Now that kind of clean up rivals communal showers with hose downs, Mr. Motts...

It looks like my old school locker room !!

Can you imagine looking at that shot when it had real people pearing through the slots !!!

I love the total lack of imaginitive detail in the design of the entrance. I makes you feel small looking at it and would feel very intimidating as you approached it. They should have added a 'welcome' matt to make it more homely !!!

Great site Motts

Beetlejuice... Beetlejuice... Beetlejuice...

Hey Motts, I live in Northampton England and we also have an old abandoned Mental Institution called St Andrews that was opened in 1838. Wouldn't it be great if you took some photos of that one to compare against this one...

I want to know who you had watching your back when taking these beautiful photos as I would have been s**t scared that the remnants of an old resident might still be present !!!

Looks like the place you end up in when you have bad dreams. The kind you can't get out of.

hey radical ed thanks for posting that website great help to me . the guys who video tape byberry should have played that metallica song welcome home (sanitarium) instead playing that other song in the backround.they should have played some trash metal or death metal in the back round. thanks again for posting that site .

WAS IT FILED UNDER "C"? LOL

It has a great sense of depth that pulls you into the photo, although I wouldn't fancy my chances walking down there !!!

Why yes, that type of stupidity would be VERY surprising. The tunnel would cave in before you'd get through the three feet of concrete they poured.
