Amazing scene. The tops of the buildings in the distance with the eery, dead like tree to offset the canvas of decay... simply fantastic.

Is this where the baseboard heating pipes were mounted? The copper is the first to 'disappear'. Looks like the tile floor was laid in a diamond pattern and the 'jagged edges' are all that remain. Unless of course I've got the whole 'up and down' thing wrong!

August? Wow, its been under construction for about a year now or even a bit more. My manfriend managed to explore one of the bulidings yesterday. It still had kitchen equipment, bathroom, beds, chairs, it was was apparently rather interesting! But then he met eye contact with a builder...! I think there is still quite a few builidings there. I can still see a tall chimney which I noticed on one of your links when on the top deck of the bus to college.

I visited in August 2006; there didn't seem to be much construction going on then... is it all gone now?

All the wonderful architecture demolished for yet more orange effortless houses.

I didn't see many of the other buildings here, but they all looked similar in that they were cleaned, stripped, and burned... there wasn't much hope for finding more artifacts in the rubble but perhaps someone has...

yes, i have explored st margaret's, but it was in pretty bad condition. was asked to leave when inside this particular building. luckily, that was at the end of the trip. the security there was actually a really nice fellow. i wish i could find out more about this place.
