looks like granite...

From you, Tommeh, it sounds logical to me!!

Now we know what to get Motts for Christmas! LOL! ; )

The hawk if probably right, but the Ness is way more interesting, so I'm gonna go with that.

It'd was the fashion of the time (60's-70's) to modernize rooms in this way. It may seem stupid by today's standards but it wasn't that way then. Odds are it's still under there though in poor shape no doubt.

A long way back on this site Motts identified a soap dispenser as a light fixture. It's taken on a life of it's own since then.

Interesting how common this hallway design is. Every UK asylum we've seen has these long hallways with canted upper edges.

Oh I know what you mean, like in the end of the movie Labyrinth.

Anyone notice the edge details on the joists?

POISONS inSIde not FOR INTERNAL USE

Mind you, one wonders just where the ones that are for internal use are. I expect that this has adhesive letters which have come off. I'd love to see a high rez version of the image.

Tommeh, I'm glad I'm not the only one who gets their lefts and rights mixed up.

LI Fish:

You're reacting to the light. To me it's not so much creepy but a tad somber, stark and lonely.

Perhaps that design allowed more sun to shine on the floor without the risk of having more window space. Do you know what I mean? Im thinking of a sun high in the sky, with the angle it would be on, wouldnt be obstructed by the corner the window ledge would make. Ugh, I'm not very good at explaining myself.

I'm not sure Marshal B, I think it's an inside joke.
