It was common practice in the 70's to "cover up" things rather than remove or remodel. My house was done like that in the 70's, brown panneling over nice plaster walls, and that god awful orange shag rug over beautiful hardwood floors. What in gods name were they thinking?

What an awesome place to search...can you say jealous?

who actually owns this asylum?

"hey, we should do something about this wood paneling. it's in dire need of repair."

"naw, let's just cover it up with peg board."

jerks.

all credit for this hellacious renovation goes to the dreadful interior taste of the 1970's. destroying simple beauty, in the sake of saving money. and wtf, disco ball?!

i LOVE that glass shot so much!!! makes it look all the more creepy! great!

Thank you Motts! This is the first time I've been on your site, and it's FANTASTIC!
You've also helped me ever so much with my GCSE summer art project, so thank you so so much! I love your site and will definitely be going on your site regularly now! Thank you and your images were FANTASTIC! I enjoyed reading the debate about the poison cupboard, and agree that it was proberbly just a ciggarette cupboard but keeping an open mind. Thank you.

I have heard very few people compliment ECT. Mostly I just hear the people who still perform it advocate for it... they must justify themselves for their peace of mind.
But when I think of it, is it really better to go through a treatment that is worse than the illness? It's like what my Taokwondo teacher used to do when I said I had a headache: she would punch me in the arm, so I forgot about the first pain by concentrating on the second. How futile is that.
On the other hand, how difficult is to speak against it. If you are insane or mentally unstable, no one will take your word about how it does not help you. And if you become sane and then tell on the doctors, they will say it was their treatment that cured you. Mostly, I think people are made believe it does. Going to the psychologist wasn't doing anything for me, but I was convinced it did for a long while. It may have helped in some aspects, and in others made it all worse. For example, I still have a major problem saying no. I also, on account of the experience, became very co-dependant.

the literal translation for this is 'exit road'
....'ffordd' in welsh means road and 'allan' is exit or out

i have been to this place many times ....................... it is a a very sad location almost haunting. just imagine how much death the place has seen....
