Hi,came across your site. if its the one nr longridge, my mother worked there she was only a young girl at the time. and told us some really horrible storys off her time there. its the frist time i have seen a photo off the place.very strange place, and yet looks really lovley building .thanks

this photo is stunning i feel so sad to see this church so left i used to sing in the choir every week for years iwas a nurse at middlewood and took pts to church i will always remember this great photo

as a nurse at middlwood i attended church service every sunday along with several hundreds of the patients it was a warm and friendly place so sorry its been left to rot

I agree Nina, very disturbing!

it sort of resembles a slaughterhouse

that pink is haunting

the image of "an old man's unblinking eye" is a powerful one. maybe i'm on the serious side of things (it is my nature), but it sort of speaks to the nature of responsibility...who had it? who respected it? who suffered under its weight? who translated it into evil? the eye shed's its tears.

you have a wonderful eye for color and , yes, i see what looks like a small figure in a gown in the doorway of room #4

it's as if you have captured a bit of hope

i like the pink reflection beautiful

reality smacking me in the head damn

this is session 9 only grittier the ways the shadows are cast make it oddly beautiful

hmmmm

a punishment/control chair...a variation of the crib theme? how easy it would have been to strap in a "problem child" and go about your day. we all want to think the best. beautiful shot.

i have a newly-diagnosed mental illness and have been hospitalized 3 times in the past three years to help figure out the best medicinal course. i have a FABULOUS doctor who always had me stay where he worked so no one else would work with me and potentially @#**! things up. i have always felt safe. however, i have seen "clients" put through like chattle and i know--having discussed this at length with my doc--that, if these cribs were available (and not frowned upon), hospitals would gladly use them. this is my first time visiting this site. although i find all these images horrifying, the adult crib was indeed the scariest. i have been able to come home after a week, unlike more people than i ever imagined, and in that week i encountered many people who have no support systems t speak of and find themselves stuck in these "modern" hospitals that are still as gut wrenchingly violent and misguided as when they were first conceived. i ramble on...thank you for this site.

absolutely the most wonderful chimney ive ever seen
nicely shot dear boy
