Radical i would rather see your art than the dismal walls behind it. As if it really matters what goes on in there.. its our house now and soon it will be gone anyways.

Rita your comments really bug me, like you think these places were paradise. Just remember you woked there not lived there.. you didnt have to suffer the mistreatment, at the end of the day you can pack your stuff and just go home. These places are not nice, lit and clean or damp and dismal like this, they are all the same.. purely horrible.

Spent a month in a seclusion room. It makes you more insane being in there so i feel that they defeat the purpose

geez you are so freeking lucky you didnt get diseases and stuff.. golden staff BLAH

Radical Ed. PLEASE ADD ME TO MSN Wolfish_type@hotmail.com I cant find any other way to contact you. Im comming from australia to see byberry. I need a guide.

I just realise i have footage of this particular building.. i didnt realise it til i just saw this picture.. how weird

You guys have odd cops that would actually chase you guys round a building like that, it sounds like a rush. Here where we live the cops are lazy and are all like "Stop! or ill shout stop again". I love nothin more than giving the cops round here a run for thier money.. but a cop chopper tops it.. i MUST get my ass to byberry before it closes!

has anyone tried sliding down the railing???

there is nothing there, I blew up the picture and it almost looks like some sort of light that is refecting off of the wall, no lady in a dress :-)

IT looks like a woman in a dress looking out of a window

i definitly agree with what gd said much earlier about tagging being apart of byberry, it is, & it always will be. live it, love it, or get the fuck out =) love you guys!

i love this site by the way

In the hospital near here they left so much stuff including reels of film to this day i still dont know whats on it. They left TONS of out of date anasthetic needlepoint vials.. all full and a whole draw of unused needles with sterile tags and unbroken seals.. its like they were begging for a lawsuit there.

Oh and Webby is right, Humans are classified along with the morgues as a bio hazard area because of diseases such as MRSA (i think it called that) And golden staff, and for you guys who dont know what golden staff is then ill let you know that dont go in there with any open wounds.. golden staff is a flesh eating disease found in most hospitals.. even ones still running

All the freezer door thingos were taken from the hospital near here not because of things like getting locked in a freezer but because the recycle value on those are great. All the copper piping in the old hospital here was taken too along with a few toilets and stuff what was left was vandalised and thrown from the third story window. A different hospital a bit further from where i am which was used to house the insane has been turned into a Hotel/Motel. I want to stay there but for personal reasons cant bring myself to do it.

Alot of bad things happen in these places like for example there is a disorder or people who smoke cigarettes then eat the lit smoke butts. There was evidence found that orderlys were busted throwing smokes on the ground in front of these people just for the novelty of watching them fight on the ground over who gets to eat it. We didnt have a sunroom where i was, we had a closet type thing though with a playstation in it but the drugs most of us on made us too agitated to sit and concerntrate on a game for more than 5 minutes without getting up and pacing around.
