Lone Commode

Looks like some serious ceiling/roof damage.

Wow....stinky commode...he took the paint right of the walls....ceilings, and floors.....!!!

"Lone commode chair." I love it! :-)

Exactly Lynne, oh how I long for the day when Motts finds the lone chair with a soap dispenser attached to it.

Looks like something out of one of my childhood nightmares. I love it!

Beautiful!

yucky even...

its, its, its a chair! one of my fave shots

oh man light a match!

This place seems to be in the worst shape of all! Where was this in relation to the pretty pastel colored hallways?

Man, this place is decaying by the second.

Whoever last used this commode wasn't supposed to use it in the hallway... it doesn't quite work that way!

love the depth of field in this one.

nightmare on elm street dream warriors

It makes me wonder how something only closed 9 years can decay so fast.

Interesting that every institution in the UK seems to have the same design for these hallways, and that they clearly don't do well when not maintained.

Good idea motts! By opening your appeture (or using a telelphoto lens, I can't quite tell) You brought the chair into focus, while allowing the hallway to slip into a blur!

"Nightmare on Elm Street" - Exactly,lol. Great pic.

ahh.

another wonderful chair picture.

you are amazing Motts. great work once again.

Awesome shot :O

This remindes me of the movie Session 9. I really love this website!

That tilted angle really adds to the photo. Gives me chills looking at it!

Clearly there is more than water damage here.
But if there was a wheely, Lazy-Boy comode were made, men would never leave it behind.

Im shit scared now.

this is scary shit ive been there before no joke

shit one scary though

this is pure scarey it looks like something from the film creep its a nightmare im not joking ive been before

i went there today! we tried to walk straight up to it but some security guard stopped us....it didnt stop us thought haha! we drove round to the other end of the fields walked thru it to the back of the institute and clibed in through a window! it was immense! scarey though...later on in the night after i showed a few ppl they photos i took we went up again and it was really really bad we didnt even get out of the car and then a random man was in the bushes so we just drove off! anyways!!!

i used to work at cherry knowle,we staff took it upon ourselves to visit whilst we were on nights,3 of us dodged the security guy and climbed through the window,4am,was this scary or what,we were bricking it.saw lots of stuff,such as old paper work,beautiful broken tiles,no ghosts though,doh.frightening but exciting.ran back to ward after around an hour,how lucky were we.

too sheff:

really? how long ago was this?

This picture reflects the sadness of its occupants.

I'm drawing this for th front cover of my book sanitorioum I hope you don't mind motts. It captured my attention because it's a beautifull shot at a nice angle

Creeping up the blind side, shinning up the wall
stealing through the dark of night
Climbing through a window, stepping to the floor
checking to the left and the right
Picking up the pieces, putting them away
something doesn't feel quite right

Help me someone, let me out of here
then out of the dark was suddenly heard
welcome to the Home by the Sea
