wheres the medicine room?

All of these bottles are empty but the amazing thing about them is that they're all glass. They used to be stacked in boxes that lined the walls but you know how it goes in abandoned places near the city.

They must have really kept these people doped up all the time. I don't imagine they did much psychotherapy in those days.

They appear to be sample collection bottles. We used the same kind in a lab I used to work at.

where is this room found?

If you look at Goddog's map, found here: http://theduke81.tripod.com/id9.html
It's the building labeled "X": on the second map from the top. Building N-10, the Tuberculosis Hospital Ward, the furthest back of the "new" buildings. It's on the ground floor way in the back near the shipping area. You'll see literally hundreds of little white plastic caps before you start seeing the bustedmbrown botles. You can't miss it if you explore the entire ground floor of N-10.

It makes me wonder if all those bottles are empty because they've been pilfered by druggies.

Svetlana

Wed 09-21-2005

Nope, they're just empty because they've never been used.

Radical Ed

Wed 09-21-2005

Plus what you might find in most medication bottles at state hospitals is not what most druggies would want to take. You rarely hear of recreational Haldol use, for some reason. ;-)

These should be gathered up and put out for recycling (LOL)

They're all a brown, super-thick glass, and probably COULD be recycled.
Good for illegal substances too... ;-)

one of the main rooms I wanted to see havent found it yet

Mon 02-06-2006

It's in N-10, the rear-most building on the property. Look above for a post I made months ago on the subject.

Radical Ed

Mon 02-06-2006

For those who wnat a clearer descriptiion, this is it. Coming from the light hallway, in N-10, it is at the end of the last hallway on the LEFT, NOT the basement floor before that.

I want thoses medicine bottles,!!!!!! what color were they, I have a few blue glass bottles that say medication and hospital on them.

rtotten

Fri 02-17-2006

The bottles are all a dark brown, mostly glass, with white plastic lids. There's also a plethora of brown plastic bottles but the majority are all glass. There's still quite a few unbroken bottles left. They're rather easy to procure.

ive been in there before..it was before the douchebag who leading us got us lost..i need someone who knows wtf theyre doin to take me on a tour through there..

Sun 02-26-2006

hey radical ed..would you be willing to lead myself and a friend through interesting parts of the complex?

Mon 02-27-2006

Join the forum (listed above) and either email me or private message me. I'll answer you either way, but put "Byberry" in the header.

Radical Ed

Mon 02-27-2006

Hmmm... joint visit.. sounds like a good idea.

Andrew

Tue 02-28-2006

I'm really interested in places like this. Spooky but with lots of history behind it. I'm really into photography, too. Me and a lot of friends want to go, but we're only 14 so, chances are, we're going to have to wait a while before we get the chance to. *sigh* Email me with any good information, and make the subject Byberry so i don't delete it, please.

I finally found this spot took like 100 bottles smashed 100 and theres still amillion left .....and they smell like shit on the inside N-10 the building all the way in the back behind champs couch.

Why do people keep seting fires in this one place?

DaveG

Wed 05-24-2006

The pill bottle room is a rather popular area of the complex and people keep setting fires there because the room is already burned out. Another fire isn't really going to make much of a difference, unless its hot enough to weaken the buildings structural integrity.

medicin bottles are good. but that room isn't!

Sun 10-15-2006

those are " collection " specimen bottles, not medication.

lee

Tue 10-02-2007

Well if the place is demolished, yes those rules pertaining to directions etc. don't apply any more.

Building numbers aren't really directions to a location, and Byberry wasn't hard to find with half a brain, so there is leniency for some places. The disclaimer still holds true though - there is no revealing of locations with pseudonyms, and no building entry information will be posted.

there might have been something good in one of those bottles...
