Whahaha.
When I first saw it, I laughed, but now looking at it more, it really bugs me.
Why would you have something like that?

I saw the paint before the hole in the floor, it really does look like claw-marks, if you've ever had a cat get at wallpaper you know what I mean.

I think that most of the folk who put comment here need to remember the history of this place and the fine work it did for those poor ill folk who often spent a lot of their lives here.
It should never have been allowed to close and could well have been used for a new hospital or prison as the one in the grounds nearby.
Maybe cash for building work and development had something to do with it!

Interesting photo Motts, I also think of all the workers and patients that went down these same halls all those years it was in operation. Who would've thought that at that time all the yrs later it would 'look' like it does now. I'm sure none of them thought it would ever close down....but things change. I'd say some patients had mental/health issues but maybe didn't need to be locked up. They didn't have the advancements in medicine that we do now. I'm not saying some didn't need to be there just maybe not as many needed to be just locked up and throw away the key sort of mentality. Its kinda a shame in some ways. Some patients could've and should've gotten much better treatment than they did. I feel really bad for those patients that were abused. Esp from a health care system that well is suppose to 'help'. Unfortunately , it happens all of the time....and still to this day. How sad really. How sad.......
