That place is supposed to be haunted. There's a video on youtube.com and it has a couple of ghosts in them. I just typed in Cherry knowle asylum if anyone is interested. Great pitures Motts, you've got guts for sleeping in an abandoned asylum. Abandoned places for me is a no go for sleeping... but an asylum?! I say again, you've got guts

The psychiatric hospital that I worked in-complete with tunnels that have been closed down and several buildings over a hundred years old-also had a kiln. I used to pour and clean ceramics for the patients to paint during recreational therapy groups. Great picture!

funny reading all that! I did the mural in the church in the early 80's not 70's it is st francis and it is painted with a mixture of oil and acrylic, i was the artist in residence for 6 years then came to do my m.a. in new york. and am still in the U.S! it is very strange suddenly thinking about the place and finding it is no more, but instead all these pictures and comments.

The infamous pool! It's so amazing when there are pool areas inside of old asylums. Great shot!

Ah, the beautiful countryside! It made sense to put these asylums in quiet, country settings, away from the city. The peaceful atmosphere was thought to be conducive to healing. Everyone can benefit from the effects of nature. It's too bad that sometimes the inside of the buildings did not reflect the outside grounds.
