the building should be flattened because of all the sins done in there

the building is in sunderland NE England. I know who pepsy is and he knows I know....dont you!!

I worked in this hospital when it was open and patients used to hide behind the organ. It was pretty hard getting them out!

Cold and bleak.

The first thing that I think of is that this door could lead to a Retro - 1960's Coffee Shop for a bunch of "drugged - out" and "burned - out" old hippies who still cannot find their way into the modern world of the 21st Century.

You can still find alot of these old hippies in Nothern California, Oregon and Washington all along the Western Coastline.

Some of these old hippies still live in tents and youth hostels. I have picked - up several of them hitch - hiking along Highway 101 and dropped them off at their designations to include buying them something to eat like sandwiches, fresh fruit and vitamins.

Where is this building ???

The reason why I ask this question is because of the electrical plug.

If I am not mistaken, it looks very European in it's design and shape.

Also the electrical outlet itself looks European in it's design and shape too.

I wonder........................................................

They have come to take me away where we can all be the same.

Freedom from the monster called the city.

I would have to say that who ever painted this mural might have been tripping on LSD at the time.

The tree is growing at strange angles.

The bird on the lower left looks like it is fake and has been placed on a stick.

The birds on the lower right look like they have been forever attached to the tree.

Who is the woman in blue ?

The images are very creepy... I mean it seems to surrounded by desolation and sadness...
It's very attractive

I hate that hand rail.

This stairway somehow makes me think that I am in the subway or "the tube" in London.

The very first thing to pop into my head as soon as I saw this photograph and read the welcome sign is the song by Pink Floyd called "Brain Damage"

The lunatic is on the grass
The lunatic is on the grass
Remembering games and daisy chains and laughs
Got to keep the loonies on the path

The lunatic is in the hall
The lunatics are in my hall
The paper holds their folded faces to the floor
And every day the paper boy brings more

And if the dam breaks open many years too soon
And if there is no room upon the hill
And if your head explodes with dark forbodings too
Ill see you on the dark side of the moon

The lunatic is in my head
The lunatic is in my head
You raise the blade, you make the change
You re-arrange me till Im sane
You lock the door
And throw away the key
Theres someone in my head but its not me.

And if the cloud bursts, thunder in your ear
You shout and no one seems to hear
And if the band youre in starts playing different tunes
Ill see you on the dark side of the moon

An intriguing thing about this pool is that the water level appears not to have changed for a very very long time - the tiles above the water are perfectly clean. I've seen this pool on other Urbex sites (pictures taken several years before this one), and it's exactly the same, which is weird - the water doesn't appear to be evaporating... so how did it get to that level? Why'd they only drain half of it (if drain they did)? Especially since it would appear that the metal ladders have been taken out (I assume that, since there doesn't appear to be any form of exit from the pool on any of the photos I've seen).

that picture is more stunning than anything yet. Its beautuful the way the oranges and yellows make such a cold place warm. its fabulouse. (sorry for the spelling)

it would be pretty cool if some one did preserve this building...although living in it and working night in it to get it completed would scare you witless... would be a job for .....THE GHOSTBUSTERS . HA!
