Nice Gothic, looks like something out of an old Vincent Price movie. Siniter, yet beautiful.

Beautiful, I agree with Bill though...it does have a sinister sort of look about it!

I am amused by the plants growing on the tower. In south eastern Indiana there is a small town that has an interesting claim to fame. There is a full tree growing out of the roof of the tower on their town hall! I have been there to see it. It is a strange sight indeed.

This is divine and beautiful. How could they leave these places empty and derelict? (where's my soapbox, would someone pass me....over there...thanks), i can't believe that in the UK and USA there are so many magnificent heritage buildings that are crying out to be rebuilt as museums or funky co op housing or nursing homes or scientology headquarters (sorry...) it's not as though they were surgical buildings with heaps of golden staph infecting the floorboards. If I get 'JK Rowling' wealthy I'm gonna buy me one and live like an eccentric. Viva the kirkbride, viva the asylum! I'll get down now, shall I?...

Well, As a home, I think it would take JK Rowling's bank account to keep it heated, however, with it's long halls, it would be a hell of a place to ride a bicycle inside of, not to mention the other things one couldn't live without, such as a bowling alley, or an inside skeet shooting gallery! :)

This whole building is beautiful, yet very cold and evil feeling?. If that makes any sense. Think of the people that looked out of those windows, lost souls that what i think that place will be full of! lost souls. Heard it has been bought and the developer could not knock it down as it is a grade 2 listed building and the expensive to do it up was far too much, so if he leaves it to rot and fall to bits, it is then classed as UNSAFE and they will then let him knock it down and rebuild.
This building is so grand and looks like it is straight out of movie, reminds me a bit of the one in THE OTHERS.

Fab pics. x

a site with some traumatic and sinister pasts, to have been a place of historic methods in psychotherapy.
If a dwelling really was a recorder of intense stress and trauma, what would it play back to us?
there many places, here in wales, disused, too expensive to renovate and run, also too full of memories and frightening rumours (mostly exaggerated), not many people seem to have the imagination, or guts to do them up!

What a beautiful picture. The building is amazing. How did it feel inside, did it feel like it was a nice place to be, or did it feel more like death and despair?
