The second splore of the day, for the elated crew! :jimlad:Myself, AlternativeDayOut, Ninja Kitten and Perjury Saint set off on dry land, hoping our tired sea legs would hold out and carry us towards our next destination,in search of brains.
We thought nothing would top the ballroom but this place was a bizarre and altogether strange splore in itself. This place had an odd influence on AlternativeDayOut, who went all Damien Hirst on us, creating strange structures, one he named 'brainhenge'. You will see. We looked for a staight jacket that may have been left behind but alas there was none, so we had to leave him to his crazy notions, though keeping an adequate distance incase any more of his lunacy rubbed off on us.:wacko:
The temperature dropped dramatically in here, so when my hands started to turn blue, it was time to vacate. Thanks NK for the use of your mystical, magical bag of heat!
This mortuary block is one of the few remaining untouched buildings, most of the Asylum and its grounds has been redeveloped into housing and refurbished apartments. Unbeknown to the occupants of these 'luxury' and most likely extortionately priced homes lies, literally feet away, is the mortuary containing brain samples from the previous residents. Bet the estate agents left that out of their shiny brochures!
Again, thanks guys for yet another fab splore with your awesome company!:)
On with the pics.....

The brains that would later be fashioned into an elaborate piece of art

A squirrel, who in search of nuts got more than he bargained for.

The brain slicers chair, where they would sit and ponder on the days outcomes with a brew from the flowery teapot.

Thanks for looking:)
 
After our underwater adventure, the one other thing we just had to see were the brains at West Park , obliviously unaware in their shiny new abodes the new residents are only a short distance from the original residents , lets just hope they all get on...

When just walking in to see such things I was horrified and wonderfied all at once and as the others explored the relatively small building I was transfixed by the madness of it all, outside there is a white van and a padlocked skip probably awaiting the imminent arrival of this nightmare load

brains samples encased in what I originally thought was glass but in actual fact getting under your fingernails wax ....arrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrgggggggggggg i am soiled...

I wish I had brought a microscope with me

When they say left on the shelf , I don't think they mean't like this, you can practically read this one's mind, check the brainy creases on that mother..., I feel like that little lad on the aeroplane at the end of 'Silience of the lambs II : Hannibal Rising "

Stunning photos from start to finish. I'm gutted I missed this. I went there recently, was literally walking in the door of here when I heard two loud voices, and the interior being stripped. Gutted.
Anyway, cheers for sharing, great pics! :)

There was a white transit van outside, and a couple of guys stripping it. We thought about just bowling in and asking if we could get some shots. But as it was a bit of an odd time for contractors to be working, we thought they may not have been the ahem...official contractors - and we feared they may of stripped us of our camera gear...

Fantastic report! I am assuming the samples were taken from cadavers rather than living specimens? At least I am hoping so.
Feel kinda sorry for the squiffel and the cat though. *Still way too much cider*
