800 Comments for Great Barr Colony (St Margaret's Hospital)

I agree, It looks like an archaeological dig to me.

This is great..The lighting is perfect and it feels like I could just reach out and touch the bricks. Mother nature has added a hint of foliage to top it off. Perfect, and no graffiti. I love it.

So, some housing project is going there, For the ELITE? You've got to save this place. We've stopped things like this in the US but you've got to get the right people behind you. I just can't believe that some sort of Historical Society isn't fighting this. I'm sorry, I may get banned from this site because I may be causing an Insurrection here but I've just got to say my feelings. I'd get some big names behind me and I'd fight it. I'd end up seeing the Prince, or I'd die trying. I've got too much of that Irish Blood running through my veins. But, I'm still an American (remember the TEA PARTY)????

My brother died in that hospital in 1982 and I have some trouble giving a damn about the architecture. I remember several turds who called themselves doctors ignoring my brother's basic needs because he didn't feel anything since he was retarded! One turd of a doctor actually verbalized that kind thought to my father. But I will give credit to one real doctor who did his best to make my brother comfortable during his last days on earth. And that kind man did his best to comfort my family.

I'm telling you. This is a National Treasure. I don't live in the UK but, don't you have some kind of Historical Society that could save this place and restore it?? HIT UP THE PRINCE!!!!!

It's STILL BEAUTIFUL!!!!!!!

I guess, from the dates on the previous Posts, that I'm a bit late getting into this Gallery. I'm new to the site but , I just can't wait to get home from work each nite to view more. Thank you so much for the link. It puts it all in perspective. So sad. SO VERY SAD!!!! This place is a NATIONAL TREASURE!!!!!!!!

So sad that graffiti is there. Just degrades the atmosphere. But WHAT A SHOT. The light coming through what is left of the ceiling. GREAT!!!!!!!
