I'm truely speechless. I can't keep my eyes off them.
I would if I were locking up this place for the last time - a note saying 'Unlucky'....

The place itself gives a sense of fear. But when you find something from a patient it brings a true sense of sorrow for their suffering. A understanding for their pain.....
Looks like a gurl - albeit one with three arms! Am I right?
Now that is some big-time structural failure. I hope even you didn't think of getting too close...
Dead and lifeless... what a tragedy :-(
It's funny, the walls don't look fire-damaged (blackened and missing plaster, as is the norm with burned-out buildings). If I didn't know different I'd say this looks as though it has just caved in through neglect.
Well the set wouldn't be complete without one...
I don't see any doors, and the hinges suggest they've been removed for scrap - perhaps they were metal. More intriguing is that electrical trunking running along the top of the wall and down above each door. Private rooms with nurse call buttons perhaps? Lynne? :-)

Beautiful shot, Motts....I love the deep hallway shots!
Very Seventies, judging by the clothes and hair. I wonder if these were real people - staff or patients perhaps - or just a figment of someone's imagination? Sad to see it defaced in a place which is otherwise very clean.

I agree with you Rich, It seems like Dixmont had more dignity for the residents than other facilities.

What's through the window? I can't tell if it's a tree or not.
And the composition of this is breathtaking.
This is a fantastic pic. I wish I had your eye Motts.
