Goodness! I'm so glad the name has been edited out - there would be no more gems such as these if the whole world knew of this (and other) hospital!

I wished so bad I could take a walk-through - these are wonderful, living museums (to me!)

Why was the name of the hospital removed?

Because it used to be (and still is to an extent) a beautiful location that was unmolested by looters and taggers.

Since the site has been bought by a redevelopment company, trespassing is highly guarded against. Furthermore, these buildings will soon be gone, so there's no use hiding that it's [removed]

Thanks for taking it upon yourself to ignore my many requests to not post the names of certain places.

When the buildings are gone will you tell us what the name is?

Catch-22.. People want to know what the name is, so they can explore, but can't give the name out because they'd explore...

Curious, what were the papers over the two 'hidden' dials?

Aw Man. What disrespect and foolishness people demonstrate by sloppily blurting out what the owner of the FUCKING SITE they're on has gone through the trouble of keeping under wraps, for obvious reasons. Shitheads.

I have to agree with Ericam....and also add my thanks for the trouble, the difficulty and the risk you endure to bring us such wonderful photos and history. You're the best!

How does one find these abandoned places? Just out of curiousity.

I have in mind what Lola asks too... how? Because I really wanna do what you do...

However, I am part of a Police Force so maybe not a good idea ;)

If people really want to find abandoned places to explore then they should find them on their own thats half the fun of it. Motts doesn't have a secret map that was given to him by some higher power, he researched places and he made connections and networks of people that he could trust and people that would tell him about or take him to places like this. Ultimately he has done all the work to make these connections, took the risks, and found the places so he has every right to decide if he wants to tell people the name(s) of the location(s) or not, and people should respect that.

Motts, for most of us it's about the photos and how you got them. The location is not important. Even if I went to any of these places (I'm far too chicken shit) I wouldn't see it like you do. It's not about the places , it's about you and how you see them. Through your lens they become something more.

@ Jernfurdle... Very well said. I agree 100%. Mr. Motts sees things others don't. I think his best photographs are of the ordinary objects and through his lens, enable us to see these objects in a whole new light. And that's what art is all about.
