942 Comments for Severalls Hospital

i took some distinctly mediocre pics! key to it for me is looking at somewhere 15 miles up the road from me in rural england that motts made his own...seeing all that is worth every ounce of fear for me.

(this is of course utter bollocks and i was petrified every second. it was dark tho - 6am!!)

Pikeys on the rob! Learning something new every day! Like shrimp on the barbie!

I'll bet you were scared! Did you get some good pics?

sian - just a bit! however, yesterday morning was the closest i've ever come to actually proper doing that! take one early morning (dark) visit to an empty asylum, a bad experience last time plus a strange noise in a deserted ward - instant laxative!

lynne - sorry...british vernacular. pikeys = people who like to call themselves "travellers" but are so far removed from romany traveller culture it's not even funny. they are currently busy stripping every ounce of copper from the cabling left in severalls. when we saw them leaving the other week they were loaded up with that plus about a million fluorescent tubes. now, each to their own and all that, but bumping into them when we're all technically breaking the law, them with big stripping knives and us with expensive cameras is not my idea of a good time!!!

Help! What are "pikeys on the rob"?

Jaysus! Did you shit youself?! I would've!!

although the next time we went we had a VERY bad moment - i remarked to my friend that a trick of the light was making it look like there was someone standing at the end of the corridor. about half a second later we realised someone WAS standing there. not a good moment!! turned out to be pikeys on the rob.

i was there again today. looking at this gallery is making me realise that even after 3 trips there's loads i haven't seen yet.

we went in the dark this morning. not a good thing for the overactive imagination!!

I really like everyones comments.

shadows of the past , once full of life.

simply amazing. the colors are so good.
It looks like someone has taken a pen and written all over the wall in the front right.

Awesome capture. Motts you're amazing

Wow doesn't cover it. That's amazing. Nice capture.

It looks like the walls have been crying, so well named =]

I love it, it's just so creepylookinglike.
Kind of sad.

very similar to the majority of the rooms at Sunnyside lunatic asylum in Christchurch NZ. Humans desearve better treatment. that tiny space is ridiculous, ofcourse they'll go mad!

Why does it look like there is a face in the window to the door?

jeez, at first glance the piece of roof in the upper right side looked like a flying saucer :O
