We need more dilithium crystals!

Spandex space suit? It is very form fitting

Strange proportions on the door, the right one is about 2/3 of the total width and the left 1/3. It is also on the tall side, From the paint lines there may have been some kind of drop celling.

Maybe it's a motion sensor?

Thanks again, Motts, for another gallery of visual delights! When these wonderful old buildings can't be physically saved, we are so grateful to you for capturing them for all time photographically, so that we and generations to come may still admire & enjoy them!

I guess the Penny Supermarket wanted to have more parking space for its customers. That was too bad! : (

Interesting...Can you imagine how old that painting must have been!?

You know, I'm wondering if this could have been part of the hospital's pharmacy? If it was a pretty large complex with more than one building, they probably did have a central pharmacy where drugs were delivered and most were kept until needed on other wards in other buildings. I know drugs today are kept under lock and key in hospitals, until almost right when they are needed to give to patients.

I'm thinking along the lines of Matt, that at one time it could have been an ''Exit'' sign and the front part of the sign is missing now.

I'm thinking the taller door was pût in at the time the original building was built. Then later on, they probably decided to make à few more doorways in the building(s) but decided not to make them as tall.

@Celeste. I can understand that. But is it still okay to comment when Motts takes photos of ''lonely chairs'' or of ''staircases''. We thought he considered those his ''trademarks''. I, for one, really DO love photos of all types of old staircases. So, when I comment on Motts' photos of staircases I am sincere. (BTW, I think I've only commented once about à soap dispenser. I wouldn't want to purposefully offend Motts.) Thanks for the info!

That is just so neat!

Yes! The forest is starting to encroach upon the building! But the building still seems to be doing its best to still defy nature. The building's brickwork still looks impeccable. And the facade of the building stretches high and upward, as do the truncks of the trees & ivy...like they're having a face-off to see who is going to overcome the other......No! The building doesn't want to go easily in this shot! : )

@Ally. I think some awful hospital administrator picked out that putrid yellow paint color to make poor bedridden hospital patients stare at it, both, night & day! : (

@A D Nilsen. I think that's probably à covered fireplace to the left of the door, also.

Ahhh! Motts! I see part of à staircase peeking out at me! : D

Is that a tile floor under all that dust in the hallway? Or is the flooring linoleum up there, Motts?
