The shapes of the upper doors, and the scrollwork on the stairs are just stunning.

why do idiots have to spraypaint every building that is abandoned?

Even in this state, it is beautiful

Every inch of this intricate building is absolutely beautiful. Such a shame it is falling apart. Time will do that...oh, yea, so does arson.... :` (

try to imagine what the staircase looked like years ago when it was still running as a asylum

For those of you who don't know, most of this place has been demolished now. Bovis Homes are buliding hundreds of houses and apartments, with a "Stunning lake view." Several houses have been burnt down in protest, but of course that won't stop them.

So, some housing project is going there, For the ELITE? You've got to save this place. We've stopped things like this in the US but you've got to get the right people behind you. I just can't believe that some sort of Historical Society isn't fighting this. I'm sorry, I may get banned from this site because I may be causing an Insurrection here but I've just got to say my feelings. I'd get some big names behind me and I'd fight it. I'd end up seeing the Prince, or I'd die trying. I've got too much of that Irish Blood running through my veins. But, I'm still an American (remember the TEA PARTY)????

anyone who wants to try and get near the place, better think again. it private property, and u are likely to get attacked by guard dogs. same if u are caught on the grounds. in other words keep off.

Mr Security....are they restoring this house or not? Thats what I'd like to know. I couldn't go there even if I wanted too. I just hope they are restoring this beautiful building ....if not than shame on them. IMO anyway.......

The rude security guard who left the message sounds like the one I met, get an attitude change mate. I have visited the hall on many occasions long before you'd ever heard of it and I have never done any damage on any of my visits... this aggression makes me wonder what your hiding?
I agree with blue lamp, I would also like to know if your actually going to restore this beautiful building, it is part of the hertitage of Great Barr...or will you just wait til it falls down so you haven't got to bother restoring it at all!!!
