All these buildings look structurally sound for the most part...it's such a shame they're being torn down. I want to live in one. Like this little house...that's not that little...haha.
This reminds me of a little daytime cafe, or a polite bed and breakfast. It resembles nothing to me of a mental insitution. I like that.
Bath time kiddies! Just ignore the floating mildew...
Shiney , like new!

I like this photo a lot., I'm surprised nobody mentioned the window. It looks so bright and hopeful, while its surrounded by scorched and torn walls. Almost like a window into the past of what this hall once was...

It makes me feel like I'm a small child, about to reach for the railing and go up the stairs, but I dont know what's at the top. Scurry.

As much as it's so much cooler if the red stuff is blood, it wouldn't be red after this long. Blood gets brown when exposed to the air for a long time.

Hi Mr. Motts! The Main Hall has indeed been demolished to make the area safe, as correctly assumed by AUTUMNTWIN. Since 'SAVE' & local opposition over re-development of most of the buildings in 2003, the entire site affords Listed / Historic Protection. Basically, most of the buildings are going to be re-used, and the mature grounds re-juvinated as part of the proposed landscaping. Looks like the Developers won't be allowed to ruin this site (so long as the Planning Dept. keep a very close eye on what actually happens!!! Great site Motts -keep safe & keep up the good work!
Those werent pipes of any sort, between them used to be a public pay phone. I used to sit on the pipes when making a call!

It's pretty amazing, all the work and recources that went into building, and maintaining something like this, and now it is just being left to decay...
Beautiful architecture indeed, but not only the rich can afford it, anyone with land can have architecture like this nowadays. It just isn't the architecture of the times, unfortunetly.. =(
