I am new to this site and you have a lifelong fan, Mr. Motts.
The only advantage I have being new is that I can go back and look at past galleries while everyone else has to wait, NYAH, NYAH!

The excellence never ends. I can't find any more superlatives.

Incredible shot, Motts! Like something from an alternate universe.

It's a shame the chimneys had to come down, but at least the entry seems to still be intact.

Maybe it something like "Room checked"? (And have no remains of bodies or something like(blue X) / Bodies are hidden quite well(pink X))

i love that sticket..where can i get one.lol

awh. in the picture...theres a heart on the wall...what an understatement for such an ugly and run-down hallway.

great picture....such a pretty flower picture, contrasting with a drab and dreary room....gorgeous

uh uh i would not go in there alone..not even with ten people...great shot though Motts

motts you have a way with the long hallway shots. they are amazing and very eerie at the same time.
Kudos<3

wow.those red light creep me out.. i would hate to have those kind of lights in my house.

wow this picture looks like something straight out of a horror movie..great shot Motts<3

Yeah, whats the yellow thing? Looks like a person/kid or something.

There could be a few factors... perhaps most of the closures of institutions happened later in England than over in America, giving the buildings more time to be vandalized.

Many places in the US were not protected in the early years; exploring back in 1995 was much much different than after the millennium... Danvers State Hospital was just sitting on that hill with no boards on the windows and no security for a good while!

The security in England seemed much more lax in terms of repercussions though. When I got busted by a guard and his K-9 in England there was no questioning or ticket; in the US a place with that level of security, a criminal trespass would have been issued at the very least.

England has it's share of trashed places. Look at all the burned buildings at St Margaret's. An upcoming gallery of Normansfield Hospital will show a lot of vandalism, and Hellingly had a good amount as well, I didn't shoot much of it because it was quite ugly :-)

I don't really; it's the people who built this place, worked and lived in it, abandoned it, the sun, wind, water and ice... I just take photos of it all.
