I really like this one, Lord Motts
This reminds me of some of the old still life paintings from the 1800's. Very expressive. I like.
Only since the 90's? this place looks like it's been abandoned for decades! Probably fire & water damage had alot to do with that...
I hate it when the leave dity dishes laying around . can't they finish washing the dishes before leaving how rude! LOL
Motts...that is stunning. I does look like those still-lifes...
Please sir, may I have some more
Dang, Joe... You took the words out of my mouth... Nice shot, Mr. Motts your Photography is outstanding.
ahhh some thing smells cementeee
finally some human presence this may be my favourite ... but the dishes where place there there is paint chips from the wall under them .
URG..... WHOS TURN IS IT TO DO THE DISHES???!!!?!!??!
mmm mmm meal time, let's dish up!
For those who live in the West Midlands, I hope you've checked out the satellite view of this place on Google Local. Its absolutely massive! I was shocked.
Yes, does remind me of a stillife.. Well Done.
No soap dispenser here :^)
cool as fcuk!
I agree, it would make a nice still life too, even with the calcification build up on the paint chips.
this is a scupe plate desihned to feed mushed food to people who had difficulties eating
these kind of photos make you realize that someone really lived there, did the same thing like you do day by day...it makes the place somehow vivid.
In answer to Dr. Mont

Yeh the place was and still is massive, although almost all of the hospital buildings have now been demolished, the hospital itself was in 2 parts, the main part up by the queslett road and then the part in these photo's bordered chapel lane. Years ago it had a farm on it, there was a very large air raid shelter hidden somewhere in the woods, it had a large work shop type of yard between the 2 main halves of the hospial, then there is Scott Hall, it's outbuilding which are on the hill between the 2 parts of the hospital and it's 2 ornimental lakes, all this is surrounded by fields which used to be farmed until they stopped us and it has extensive woodland. And all of this is now being spoilt by them building over priced new houses, shame.
that remind me to wash out the coffee pot
Hey, didnt realise someone took a photo of my kitchen! ewww. jokes aside, totally loving these photos!
I worked there in the eighties, happy times sad to see it like this.Lovely lake and grounds.RIP st margarets
Makes me think of orphans and gruel...

WAY too much Oliver Twist, methinks.
