I see the soap dispenser, but why no towel rack?

This looks disturbingly similar to another tub room from another location you have an album of, Motts. I can't recall off the top of my head which though... anyone thinking the same or am I crazy?

The tubs are a bit creepy but not as bad as those hanging heaters you see sometimes. I do like the tiles though

Interesting the way, on the sides of the tubs, there's a section angled inwards. Was that maybe for the caretakers of the sick kids, when they had to kneel down to assist the child in the bathtub? This would spare them banging their knees against the straight side of the tub.

Again, a space that seems undisturbed and in great condition for an abandoned place.

Kilt7, I remember that album too and it does seem familiar. For some reason it seems dark and sinister, and a bit claustrophobic.

I'm with Clarabell and Sayward; my reaction was so strong i finally had to comment. i haven't seen the other one you guys are referring to, but if it's as baleful as this image i almost don't look forward to it.

almost. to evoke such emotion with a photograph is amazing. i stumbled upon this site through my interest in urban exploration, and until now never realized the artistic value of these old, forgotten places. really good stuff

vastarien: it might be because the tubs might have been used for therapy... i know that hydrotherapy is still used today... maybe they were just used to calm people down, relax them....
