the UK has the DPA (data protection act)

It says Fire Door Keep Shut

Luckily I got to see this very rainbow for myself!
The floors have pretty much given way now but as soon as I saw it I immediately thought of you Motts! I couldn't stop smiling afterwards, seeing it in person is so different to looking at pictures!

I went to Harperbury last week and the week before. This pool has changed so much, only the base of the machinery remains and all the windows have been boarded up so you need a torch just to see anything. It's such a shame.

LGBT people are EVERYWHERE!

that fan looks very modern day

It appears to still be standing as of 10/2011, however demolition seems imminent.

My stepmums father was in charge of these wards when they were still being used, crazy to think he would be in charge of locking poor souls in these rooms. Have heard some stories, it seems it was mostly for their own good. The patients were forced to wear special "helmets" as they would bang their heads against these walls, and although they are padded it still did some damage. It's horrible to think of some of the people who had been in that small room and what they must have had to endure.

My stepmum used to work in this asylum, as did her parents for many years. She vividly remembers every part of this place, and could easily tell you what every room was used for. Her dad was in charge of the "padded cell ward" and apparently it was horrific. She remembers this rainbow too. Her childhood was spent here and apparently the grounds are truly spectacular, or were. Shame to see it like this. Does anyone know the current state of the asylum? Is it still standing?

LOL i bet if you hit it a few times it will spt out a couple of xanex.

That thing would fetch a fortune at an antiques shop. I'm surprised it's still there. Beautiful photography.

Military does that too. Have to dispose of stuff. Can't give it away or anything... so dumb...

am i the only one who thinks having a mirror in a padded room might be a slightly stupid idea? considering mirrors are made out of GLASS (among other things...)
*jump*
CRASH!
