Those kinds of bed posts have always in there own way creep me out... but then again what asylum hasn't. Thats what draws me to them. ;)

Even though Norwich was made in the 1900s it probably believed in the traditions of asylums older then it.

You would be amazed of what happens to buildings that were abandoned for a few years. Trust me. There's an old mill in my town that was left alone for only five and yet it look a heck of a lot worse.

Why is it in every abandoned asylum that the cell doors are always wide open. But any who nice shot. It's nice to see some classical mesh ;)

I think they had a children's ward in the Lippit building, but I'm not 100% sure on that.

those are bed sanitizers

Ah.... =) brings back old memorys of my early days of Asylum studying for some reason. Probably because norwich was one of the first Asylums I've seen before.

And this is when the beauty stops. =) How comon with asylums, always put the beauty in front but in back is the true uglyness... Well as it is for the Asylum in my town =)

Norwich, I believed tried to make things look as fancy as possible to make patients feel at home and to make visitors feel welcomed. So I've read.

Do you think Norwich may have had children there as well?

It's so beautyful, but i got ruined because some people decided to throw furniture around >:(

Fascinating and beautiful.
