Sweeeeet!

that chair looks more intimidating thatn a dentist chair, oh the memories!!!!

Looks to me like the children's ward, I was there a few years ago

Are you going back anytime to look into Worcester some more. Would love to se more of it...

Yoa wanna cry lou..im crying...oh my godess. whats that doing there...tahts just to freaky

hosing people down is not very "shower friendly" It really is interesting to know how different things were in the later years, and I am sure that nobody thought twice about how patients dignitiy were taken from them. No matter what anyone says, this is not a dignified way to bath a patient, no matter how hard they are to deal with. I have been pooped,spit, vomitted on and been hit( pretty bad too, I received stitches at one time.)and through all that I still could never imagine "hosing someone down" just a scary thought in my book!!!!

Why is the wall bricked up?

Love it, I'm an Irishman living in York, England

This will sound bizzare but it looks so big yet in such small square footage

Are you sure? Most of the building burned down in 1991...

ah!!! lol freaky

i' was patient here in 1997 it is haunt place, i remember looking out those bars.

whaa! brilliant shot, so creepy! and so sad!

The other thing I found interesting about some of the staircases in Worc. State was that they were caged to prevent any patients from jumping off of them and killing themselves.

this make me wonder how many activities did these people have to do with others? useing restrooms and showers and god only knows what elt's the lack of privacy would drive me crazy !!! shouldnt there be some sort of effort to preserve their modesty and respect them as people deserveing privacy from other patients i can understand if a nurse had to be with them at all times but did your bunk mate have to watch you take a dump too ? weird isnt it ? email comments to justicedreams24@aol.com
