Unstaged scene as found in a long-abandoned house. In my minds eye, I watch the last inhabitants of the old house raise a glass to toast times gone by and the future; gather the last of their personal belongings, and quietly close the door behind them. / (2009.FEB.21) / Cherry Creek, NV Featured on / The Thing / (2009.NOV.19) / POSTED: No Trespassing / (2009.OCT.23) / Abandoned Items / (2009.OCT.23) / Still Life Photography / (2009.OCT.22) / Country Bumpkin / (2009.OCT.21) / Image Writing />(2009.MAR) Canon 350D EOS] / Canon 18/55 mm Natural lighting from the doorway in another room / Built-in flash / ISO 800 / Handheld (with support of a door frame) JASC PaintShop Pro x7 and Corel PhotoImpact x3

The Cells by Daniel Bullock

The solitary rooms and corridor of an abandoned Lunatic Asylum. Featured in Abandoned Asylums & Hospitals 22nd Oct, 2009. Featured in POSTED: No Trespassing 24nd Oct, 2009. History / West Park Asylum (or West Park Hospital) was a large psychiatric hospital in Epsom, Surrey. The hospital was designed by William C. Clifford-Smith (architect to the London County Council), who was also involved in the design of nearby St Ebba’s Hospital. The hospital had been in planning since 1906, and by 1917 it was largely complete; however, the outbreak of war postponed opening until 1923. When complete the hospital could cater for around 2,000 patients of mixed class, and hence the site had extensive boiler houses and plant rooms, a large laundry and a substantial water tower. There were enormous kitchens located behind the canteen, and in turn this was behind the main hall/ballroom. However, the main hall suffered an arson attack on September 30th 2003 and is now a burnt out shell. The asylum also boasted its own railway but this was removed in 1950, and no trace remains except around the central engineering block. The main stores and sewing rooms were also located here, but other services, such as the mortuary and chapel, were located by the entrance road, along with two lodges for the matrons and a large manor for the superintendent. The hospital was slowly run down from the mid 1990s, and by 2003 most of the hospital was closed and derelict. A few outer ward buildings and villas remain open today and are still used for psychiatric treatment. As the hospital is largely derelict, it is of increasing interest to urban explorers who visit for the sheer size of the hospital, and also for many hospital items still in situ, such as beds, drugs, kitchen equipment and personal items. A padded cell is also of interest to explorers. The hospital was the last great London asylum, and the last of the Epsom Cluster, a group of 5 mental institutes (the others being Horton, Manor, Long Grove and St Ebba’s.) The asylum follows the compact arrow design, with external villas

Remnants : The Portal by bensound

The Lady Lamington Building stands on the grounds of the Royal Brisbane Women’s Hospital and is heritage listed. / Lady Lamington, the wife of the Governor of the day laid the foundation stone on 14 September 1896. The building provided accommodation for 207 nursing staff at that time. / Sitting rooms, each with a fireplace, were a feature of the two top floors. / This building has an odd feeling to it that I can’t really explain, not like it’s bad or evil, but as though the people who lived there left echoes, remnants.
