why did they leave this it must be worth a fortune? Such a waste :'-(

You like the word "premium" Jo?

anyway this shot makes me thing of 'the House on haunted hill'... dont wanna know what was on these reels - dissections? experimnets?

Yes i would imagine that the plaster work is all still there above all the polystyrene tiles. They probably knocked holes throgh it to suspend the cieling though. peopel once thought victorian architecture was fusty and old fashioned and tried to hide it from view. Nowadays houses wiht original features fetch a premuim cause so many were destroyed in the name of fashion .

Not sure about Europe but they are here in New Zealand. Are you kidding that you don't get horizontal ones in Florida?

Welcome to the secret garden...

Tpyical victorian design. Lots of British high schools look this way

Random thought... why DO airplanes still have light-up no-smoking signs, and ashtrays in the armrests and bathrooms? I've never known a time when you were allowed to smoke on plane. Imagine having to sit next to a smkoer on a 6 hour flight? Yeuch ;-(

Ah ouais putain ca gere ! ^^

The entire right side from ceiling to floor looks like a gross seeping wound, ewww!

My Grandmother had E.C.T. in the past. She said that it was painful and her head hurt her for days afterwards, migrain type pain. Sometimes she said it would be so bad she couldn't hardly breath without it racking her brain with pain. She would be extremely light sensitive and not be able to think clearly or remember stuff normally for weeks. It didn't help her schizophrenia either, it actually made it worse after a week or so after her E.C.T. session(s). She also mentioned something that I hadn't really heard anyone mention before, her fingers and toes would tingle like when they have fallen asleep and are "waking up".

If you look carefully it appears that numbers are missing here not the word "NOT". The last digit being a 4. Many medicines are poisonous, in large quantities. They probably doled out there own doses from the secure storage and then diluted it accordingly for the patient at hand. Possibly, judging by the different lettering and the various signs of different shapes being taped/glued over sections of this sign, not all of these words here were necessarily in use at the same time. Maybe?

Yeah, I find that clean spot disturbing.

Did you shine a light in the little broken window and see what was in there?

A cool "action" shot!

This shot could be a boring comparison shot, but you've made it into an interesting composition contrasting the new and the old off of each other! And it made me a bit queasy! Isn't it neat how the brain works?

In a definition a bit more clearer as to how it applies here:

Inimical:
1. adverse in tendency or effect; unfavorable; harmful: a climate inimical to health.
2. unfriendly; hostile: a cold, inimical gaze.
