Looks like this poor staircase had issues and never sought help for them! : ) I really like the ceiling, tho.

I'm so glad that you were able to at least get into the projector room to get this shot, Motts! It seems to have meant so much to so many people. This really was a nice theater!

This is a really nice photo, but I do think there are way too many pyromaniacs loose in this world!

Oh for Heaven's sake! I've never heard of such a thing, Jaye! And believe me I know à thing or two about psychology, psychiatry, and mental hospitals. May I be nosy and ask what your source of information is regarding red light causing people to go psychotic? I mean, now that you've gotten everybody freaked out? : O BTW, interesting pic Motts!

Such a waste! The building sure is still beautiful in Motts' photo, tho!

Awesome photos! need to brush up on a wee bit of our History though. To answer a previous comment though this till is vintage (1950's 1960's) not antique :)

The state of this place now is pretty shocking, pikeys & chavs have pretty much stripped the place of metal lead and copper wiring.The roofs have collapsed and floors below rotted due to rain ingress over the years.If you plan on exploring take care where you tread.

had a ride over there today , only live in chorley so not to far away. seems to be pretty well fenced off now although if I didn't have the wife with me I expect id have found a way in. Didn't see any guards at any point just other people walking the paths around the fencing.

Johnr, wondering when you were there? My mother grew up at Whittingham, since her father worked there--I'm guessing in the early 40's? Always been curious about what that was really like.

My Mother Majorie Stopford(nee Yeulett) worked at Whittingham Hospital as a Nurse in 1937/38 and lived in Longridge with her Mother at 3 Ashton St.. Her Brother Ernest Yeulett worked there after the war I think and later his son William Yeulett.
