I only discovered your site last week while searching for pics of Danvers, and have found a new fascination. Your images are striking, at times unnerving, and always thought provoking. Thank you, and cheers!
and the comments left can suck in into the pictures even deeper. I also love this site.
Now I wanna see the key for that lock!
I just read that the Queen doesn't like a loo being referred to as a "toilet", she prefers "lavatory" or some such thing. Just a little nonsensicle trivia for you there folks!
jude - according to the british (snob) class system it's vulgar (or "non-u"for non-upper-class") to use words derived from french. so, lavatory or loo not toilet, napkin not serviette.
load of old bollocks if you ask moi.
Was there any reason for this that you can think of Lynne? I'm really interested to know.
so maybe this toilet was locked at night or our of hours for whatever reason, and the huge deadbolt was put on as a visual indicator that the room's out of use [to prevent somone waiting patiently for hours for the non-existant occupant to finish!]
When I volunteered at the local low level psych places the LPN's would need to lock the bathrooms until the staff knew someone would actually be in there (sucidal prevention) and they were always type of lock where you could just see from the position if it was 'locked' or 'unlocked'
small spaces scare me.
creeps me out!
I used to have a ' friend ' who had a friend who had a PADLOCK on the OUTSIDE of his apt. room. One day my ' friend ' padlocked the other guy in his room after the guy had been drinking, and he left. He said the guy was " hanging out his window calling for me to come back; and there's no bathroom in that room "
By the way, pictured is a " barrel-bolt "
"Was the door opened?
