Thats such a big building!!

The flats at Portsmouth's Tricorn Centre were closed years before it was pulled down, & were 3 feet deep in pigeon's doings.

Is that a weight from an adjustable dumbell at the bottom left?

Was the credit union for staff or patients?

I know Cane Hill had a patient bank so they wouldn't need to carry cash around, & to stop them hording money to help on an escape.

When lifts are abandoned the car is taken to to the bottom of the shaft, propped from underneath, then the cable is cut to engage the safety brakes & make sure it doesn't move.
I'm guessing that this is done to stop the possibility of the cable snapping years later sending the lift crashing to the bottom of the shaft, the safety system might have seized up in that time.

See my comments on the last picture about the ceiling.

It looks like some took all the ceiling tiles apart from the ones with lights in.

Maybe it's for the benefit of Latin American domestics.

I can at least one widow bricked up.

In England at one time there was a window tax that lead to some home owners filling in their windows, & never put them back after the tax was lifted.

There's on old lodge house near to me that has a few of these.

I was 7 on this date, it was 16 days after my sister's first birthday.

Maybe someone was seeing if there was any copper pipes behind.

I guess this was let behind because the same function can be done on a much smaller board with just a few chips.

Isn't a pad lock one with a lockable loop?rather than one fixed to a door, like this example.

amazing really, you know this place is supposed to be "haunted" right, its pretty awesome thought, during the day that is.

i love this.
