If anyone read the El Peecho interviews at the beginning of these pics, you might have been led to believe this is "the tunnel" they were talking about. Very interesting and foreboding.....

"And then to assume that every single person was then sexually abused and tormented is just as sick."

Well, Lynne, this post is about two years late, but I still feel very compelled to post a comment regarding your above rant... I have been reading most of the comments put on Opacity, including yours, and I have to say that as hurtful as it may be to you to think ppl here were tortured and abused, sexually, mentally, and physically, you need to get a grip. I know u work in a facility and have at lots of others. You may not abuse your patients, (the world applauds u for not), but I guarantee you someone else does. Why is it so hard for you to imagine this abuse took place here and also on so many other institutional grounds? Of course there will be exceptions, but according to all the websites Motts posted here documenting the abuse, apparently it was the RULE. For ppl to believe this happened does NOT make them sick or demented. And I believe the person who posted did say "many people," not all.

Not everyone wears rose-colored glasses, and maybe u should take yours off.

holy hell the light fixure is blinding!

Could probably get that thing to run with abit of work more then likely, stuff back then was built pretty durable.

That's one creepy looking wheel chair.

there are some bums that stay there but there is also kids who go and party there often and they deff use the toilets. its very gross and disturbing that people have to be so inconsiderate.

In a word polyester, those curtains will be intact when the room is gone. 100% polyester.

if your going to go to pen hurst you might wanna make your trip soon because they are starting to tear it down its privatly owned now and its getting harder and harded to get in. you must get permission from either the garage peopleor the owner

Ummm, maybe you are being totally honest, but this would be one of those moments where I wouldn't be surprised someone were to ask you to say..."I'm not the Cops"
