I've seen a British gas mask for a baby that looks more like a space helmet. It needed someone to operate a hand pump to allow the baby to breathe.

It's a little fancy for a nurses station, possibly a reception area,

I'll guess those are from the 1970s or 80s.

In WWII there were many easy to understand but important slogans such as "Careless Talk Costs Lives" & "Measure Twice & Cut Once"

Those cooling towers look wider than any other I've seen.

Cooling towers are also used in coal fired power stations.

I remember these being known as astroglides, & going down them in a thickly woven sack.

With a sink like that was it a cleaner's cupboard?

Almost every abandoned medical facility seems to have a lone wheelchair.

Being British & born in 1978 meant that I never heard of drive-ins until seeing re-runs of The Flintstones in the mid 1980s.

A couple of years ago I worked for Stockport Primary Care Trust, which is part of the NHS.

The spoons in the office kitchen had "Hospital property" stamped into them, even though we wern't even based at a hospital.

I guess they must buy them in bulk. We also had a hot water boiler on the kitchen wall that dispenced boiling water through a tap.

These are also used in hospitals to make lots of hot drinks without waiting for a kettle to boil.

Where I work now could do with one as we keep wearing the kettles out by boiling them so much!

"Peter Griffin from 'Family Guy' walks in:
"Neheheheheh, that says poop! Neheheheh.""

Maybe with a "Holy Crap"! thrown in!

Toujours translates as Always.

In interesting mix, the sign is in standard NHS style.

Don't know the font though.

O2 for oxygen sounds right for TB sufferers, does anyone here with medical training know better?

At least one of those tables is for playing Bar Billiards, a very popular game in Belgium.

This must be on of the freakiest places you've been Motts. I remember seeing a place in western France that was similar, but open to the public.

The last time I went to Blackpool Pleasure Beach I noticed that almost all the rides had a plaque stating when they opened.

Some also stated that a few other parks had similar rides, Kennywood was one mentioned a few times, along with a park near Mexico City.

I've been on the ghost train at Blackpool Pleasure Beach a few times.

I used to go there every 2-3 years on a day trip with my family, & once or twice with friends in between.

I think my family stopped going because it was getting expensive because you have to pay per ride, while other places like Alton Towers you just have to pay at the gate & everything's free to go on.

I remember the Noah's Ark, it was very dark inside & at one point if you stood on the wrong bit of the floor some cow's leg's would shoot out & nearly kick you!

I was last there in 2002, I didn't go in but it seemed to be as I remember it from the outside.

The flats at Portsmouth's Tricorn Centre were closed years before it was pulled down, & were 3 feet deep in pigeon's doings.

Is that a weight from an adjustable dumbell at the bottom left?

Was the credit union for staff or patients?

I know Cane Hill had a patient bank so they wouldn't need to carry cash around, & to stop them hording money to help on an escape.

When lifts are abandoned the car is taken to to the bottom of the shaft, propped from underneath, then the cable is cut to engage the safety brakes & make sure it doesn't move.
I'm guessing that this is done to stop the possibility of the cable snapping years later sending the lift crashing to the bottom of the shaft, the safety system might have seized up in that time.

See my comments on the last picture about the ceiling.

It looks like some took all the ceiling tiles apart from the ones with lights in.

Maybe it's for the benefit of Latin American domestics.
