Andrew, maybe not this week, but if you email me, I'll send you pics from my friend's journey to the cement wall. This is past the shopping cart on your way to the C's. The water is over five feet deep. You say you made it all the way to the wall, and no water? I'll find out when I go on Tuesday.

I've met, travelled, guided, and partied with dozens of folks there a multitude of times.

It was burned off years ago by vandals.

Ward Light

Yeah, that was in S-10. Although access to S-10 is impossible, that's where they store all of the gym equipment from the glory days of the Berry.

A friend of mine waded through neck-deep scumwater and took a photo holding the camera above his head the entire journey. The wall is impenetrable.

Remember, the tunnels under the "C" and "S" buildings are about 90 years old.

Ed and His Provisions

Radical Ed

Yeah Motts, you got the story right. I talked with them about this on a serious level and they've all agreed that "fires are bad, mmmm-kay?"
The fire pics were all deleted and apologies were made all around. The owner of the site is a really good guy and they won't be doing stuff like that any longer.

Why yes, that type of stupidity would be VERY surprising. The tunnel would cave in before you'd get through the three feet of concrete they poured.

Hey Russell, go to no-trespassing.net for some Byberry film footage and some great pics from local-area abandonments.

Calling the site-owner a fool is foolish in itself cc.
If this IS in fact a kitchen, show me the oven, genius.
Motts has seen an asylum or two in his travels. I'm sure the mistake-made is your own.

Gymnasium

Radical Ed

If you read the posts above yours, you'd notice this was already stated by Goddog.
The gym did exist however, but was located in the building next to Self Help on Southampton Road.
The building still has the gym equipment stored there.

Buck is a cool "kid"?
He's 28 and looks like Billy Gibbons from ZZ Top.

Small Auditorium

Jester got locked up? Must've been because of his penchant for idiotic behavior. Last I heard of his hi-jinks, he tossed a cinder block through the window of the security guard's office (while in use) and he slashed the tires on their vehicles. He also robbed and set fire to the office on a different occasion while the guards were on patrol. He was an okay guy to hang around but his immature behavior caused more problems than ANYONE needed. The security guards make about seven bucks an hour and Byberry is scary as Hell on the third shift, especially for someone that's not a UER. They definitely can't afford new tires on their part-time salaries. This kid was a fucking menace. What did he do this time, if you don't mind me asking Barbie?

If I attempt to take a female through Byberry, my girlfriend will cut my scrotum off. Terribly sorry.

My friend Goddog has a "directions" section on his website's home page. Study his site for great info at

Byberry's pretty much destryoed so I hope Lord Motts forgives this faux-pas of his dogma.

Puddleboy, if you want a tour that's easy on the body and comprehensively complete, I'll take you through bro. It's much cooler in person and you can take your OWN amazing pictures. You're what, an hour away, tops?

Hannibal Lechter was in an insane asylum. He ate folks. I'd say that qualifies as disturbed.

It's so fucked up, that kind of noise would bring the place down. No electricity either...

There are so many maps on-line, who needs blueprints? Here's a link to some of them!
