they do it with childrens homes too.... theyve shut most of the large homes and sold them off for mega bucks, same as the phsyc hospitals, where do the at risk kids and needy patients go now? its called" care in the community". the kids are left at risk and the vunarable must face a nightmare situation of trying to cope in a world they dont understand, or feel they belong in.....
i couldnt imagine living in a building which had so much confusion,unhappiness, mania and tears in its history, itd be interesting to find someone who did ,or knew someone who did live in a converted physciatric hospital... anyone know any?
If anyone has any information on how I can get involved with this type of extra ciricular activiy, please feel free to e-mail me at paige.bowman@gmail.com
Thank you for any help you may be able to offer.
I just discovered this web site and have to say that I am thrilled with your hard work at taking such intrigueing photos. I have always had an interest in mental hospitals and the stories that go along with them. Does anyone know of any "groups" that go to visit these hospitals? I would like to be a part of that. I would be very interested in going through some of them myself just to look. I live in Ledyard, CT less than 10 miles from the old Norwich State Psychiatric Hospital and have always wanted to walk through to see what it looks like inside.
That's right about the UK chopsuey, there's a hospital in the city nearest me (in England), which was abandoned for as long as I can remember, and was genuinely creepy, and they converted it into a block of luxury flats. They look really nice I'm sure, but I don't think I'd want to live in them!
we need waste, places that do go are best forgotten, what to do with this place,
in the uk they turn some into luxurey flats and houses, is that right? you cant leave everything standing. the energy of some places is too strong.
your job sattisfaction must be fantastic, i paint for a living and forsure my job satisfaction is pretty low, when i say paint i mean decorate not pictures...
