Grounds W-6

Grounds W-6

The twin building of W-7. To the right is N-8, the maximum security female building. The walkway in the center connects the max security female and male buildings, as well as W-6 and W-7, and the catacombs.

This is the point where a tunnel goes underground. See how it intersects with the hill in the bottom left corner? Every building here is accessible from the inside via these tunnels.

One thing I loved about this place, it's almost like a nature preserve right in the middle of the city. birds singing,quiet and over grown, like a lost jungle city.

Another great photo, Motts. I love the contrast between the emerald-green vegetation and dull, decaying brick buildings.

The tunnels connect EVERY building in the complex. Some are above ground and some are underground.

Thanks man, yeah I have a photo but I'm not sure if the girl in it wants it posted... it's a crappy shot anyway. The catacombs are just steam tunnels, like at KP, but maybe not as long!

I think there are flooded catacombs underneath the patient walkway. There are also catacombs leading to the large auditorium.

Actually, an underground steam tullel runs next to the light hallway. it connects to N8, N-9, and N-10. This is the only portion that has sugnificant flooding.

I am a 44-year-old who was born across the street from Byberry, on Carter Rd. All of the kids from my street would play on the grounds that bordered our neighborhood. this site is great and I would love to go back and see it for myself.....I live in another state but next time I am up there.......
